My 2 A day

[andyroog]

After a early wake up and a hour and a half drive i reached the start point of this walk mwis forecast was smack on so it was a change no rain, sunnny day, bit chilly could not have been better the start point was the cairn up from the visitor centre

just past the dam and Lochan Na lairige

it did not take long to reach the old fence line if you get on tjis the rest is a doddle

up to Meal Corranaich.JPG[/attachment]which is a perfect handrail to my first target Meall Corranaich

the ground underfoot in other walkreports was handy to know because it was a bit boggy prior to reaching the fence line have been in worse though my local kings head springs to mind on a saturday night i continued along obvious path passing coire leith

the views across to the lawers ridge are excellent with a smattering of snow for good measure

for me this is a MUST clear sky walk to get some great views after doing the lawers ridge the week or so before see my five a day report getting a different view angle is great

path to meall a choire leith

to my next target meall A Choire Leith

an easy walk down past some shielings to your left across some more boggy ground and back to the cairn saving Meall nan tarmachan ridge for another day completing 7 out of a planned 8 for me considering earlier weather conditions in the month was great hope good weather ahead for all few more pics

Smashing report Andy. Really really helpful for eejits like me who are a bit unsure about the best route to take. I like phrases like 'obvious paths' and 'fence lines as handrails' - very reassuring

Cheers. x

Good stuff Andy and some great pics - the first shot of views across to the lawers ridge is a real cracker

Jeeeso where did the snow come from on Lawers ? Done it and the rest of those hills just a few week's ago and all of them were snow free, Lawers was still icy cold though

Yeh it just shows how quick conditions can change i done the whole ridge 8 days before but it was freezing and huge hailsnow and slight snowflakes mwis had said snow above 950m throughout the week what surprised me was no snow on the two munros i was on guess because lawers is 10th highest it catched the smattering

Some great photos there Andy. Snow in May is not uncommon I suppose but after the tropical conditions in April its a bit of a shock
