Been a while since I did this one, but photo's remind me, it was not the most memorable of days, mainly due to a bit more cloud than predicted.
- Beinn Ghlas
- Killin.
I do remember being first in the car park, though when I got back, there must have been a dozen or more cars. Beinn Ghlas looked reasonably clear from low down, but alas wasn't to stay that way. I think my only moment of doubt on the way up, was whether to take the path left, or go ahead, having left the wooded area, facing the ridge of Beinn Ghlas. After a few false summits the mist came in and nothing could be seen from the summit cairn, reached in about an hour and twenty.
- To Ben Lawers.
- Down Allt a'Chobhair from bealach.
- BG Cairn
Ben Lawers was well hidden too, but the well trodden path meant my weak navigation skills would not be put to the test and I was at the windy summit less than forty minutes later.
- Ben Lawers summit.
A few photo's, some grub, then it was time to beat a hasty retreat, as it was quite windy and chilly.
I chose to come down the bypass path, from the bealach and heads round the north side of Beinn Ghlas.
- An Stuc.
- Heading down.
- ?Meall Corranaich.
It was soon after this my right foot started to ache from my new boots. Funny, I had done Ben More and Stob Binnein, not long before without a twinge! Anyway, hirpling a bit, I was back at the car in just over three and a quarter hours and things beginning to look much brighter again towards Ben Lawers. Typical.
