On my tod for this one(apart from Breagh & Kerry my dogs) as alan s and JB likes a beer watchin there weans,was hoping I would be able to take plenty of pictures on this walk for 2 reasons 1 walking at my pace,and 2 hoping for descent weather,neither of which happened.
Got to layby 88 on A9 and ready to go by 9.00am,and was approached by another walker who asked where I was going and would I mind if he could walk with me,fine by me as long as your not a quick walker I said,quite happy for the company,soon became apparent he had no map or compass.
Weather was pretty poor from the start with low cloud,heavy rain,sometimes hailstones,and 25/30 mph wind,so with me doing all the navigation,no views and poor conditions no pics taken till we got to the summit of Carn na Caim where my companion kindly took summit pic,
- summit cairn Carn na Caim
- gammy at the summit
.no hanging around at top and made our way to the next summit,A Bhuidheanach Bheag with the wind,rain soaking us to the skin,and making the walk pretty miserable,where once again my friend !! took the last 2 pics of the day
- summit trig point
- gammy at summit
.
This was the last I saw of my new friend !!(clag had now lifted),because when I bent over to sort my bag,have a drink and put away my camera,my new friend!! had disappeared into the distance,without as much as see you later.
So much for doing all the navigation in all the rain.clag and wind,maybe I smell,have halitosis or am just poor company.
Like I said on my tod on this walk.
