Before this trip i had been telling Alan that i had only been up 19 munros and would like to finish 2012 with 20, next day Alan called and asked if i would be up for 6 munros? of course i was
First big winter walk that would take me to 25
Left Paisley at 6.00am and were at the devils elbow and walking for 8:30am
First munro of the day, Creag Leacach, was quite an easy walk in, loads of hare running everywhere, never managed to get a pic tho, think the dogs were scaring them off.

the walk from tolmount to our final munro carn an tuirc was a bit heavy going now, snow was a lot deeper in places and my legs were starting to feel it
after what seemed like ages we finally arrived at the summit

was glad to see the road, but we still had a 5km walk back to the car
tried hitchiking for a bit but had no luck, might have been because we had 2 collies with us
i let alan get about half a mile ahead of me while i tried to thumb a lift,after 10 mins a true gentleman stopped and offered me a lift back to the car, cheers mate
once at the car i had to nip back and get alan and the dogs,
was a great day out, pity we never had the views but was a good end to 2012
