Tha mi air ais a sgriobhaidh
We have had a busy Winter so far with 8 Munro's completed in a mixture of weather. This was to be our second attempt at Beinn Bhuidhe in as many weeks after been beaten by waist deep snow in the Coire / Gorge two weeks past
No such issues today we hoped
Cycled into the place where you leave the bikes ,interestingly I fail to see how cycles can affect a woodland that has a track through it and which is more likely to be getting harmed by the sheep that are so evidently hefted within the fence
... resisted the temptation to take the bike through because I could not be arsed
Used the trad route , left hand path up the gorge which was fine if no a wee bit eroded only one stretch which was tricky to the left of the waterfall with wet snow and at a steep gradient which required axe work .
Once over that onto the moine , a quick look at the hydro track being bulldozed up the hill then up the gully onto the ridge to the summit side of the 901m point...... all easy enough going
Cumaidh sinn air an druim ..we kept to the ridge point ,some grand views to the summit and quickly gained height ,good sunshine although hazy
Aonach druim ..steep rises and wee bit care used micros and axe to pull up the slope but a bit overkill going up with good boot purchase
Bha sinn air a cárn mu dheidhinn da air fhichead ... stayed at carn for about 40mins catching warm sun and taking lunch before heading off over the 901m top
Steep decent through wee gullies and creagan but a good way off this steep beinn and lands you at the sheep fang close to the boarded dwelling place .
All in all a tough wee hill ...... cha bith mi air ais
Cheerie a nis
