Lovely Autumn day for Carn a Chlamain

[macq23]

A lovely warm Autumn walk to Carn a Chlamain. One of those times where the MWIS forecast was completely wrong and for the better The long flat walk in and out was a bit of a killer, must invest in a bike rack! But the sight of Beinn a Ghlo on the right hand side brought back some great memories
When I first saw Carn a Chlamain, I thought it would be quite a steep bit to finish off, but looks can be deceiving and I was at very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to reach the top. We decided to come off the busy gamekeeper track(Landrover was up and down like a yo-yo) at Glac a Bhuic Eairb where there was a single path straight to the summit. Some cracking views at the top, and when time to go back down, it was the direct route following Allt Carn a Chlamain until picking up the other track. A great sunny day out in October

Start of route just after leaving Glen Tilt car park

Agreed! Some cracking shots
Autumnal colours and those exquisite golden sunsets means Autumn is far superior to Summer for hill wandering (although full winter conditions will always be the the best).

Cheers! The glistening snow covered hills are also very hard to beat...especially on a lovely sunny cold day
