[pigeon]

Myself Ryan Ian and Jake set of at half 8 to tackle the 3 munros of beinn a ghlo which would take me to the 50 munro milestone,if we could handle the weather

It was ok to start with and we got to the top of carn laith with no probs except a strong wind

A nice irish guy took our picture on the top and after a quick bite to eat we set of for braigh coire chruinn bhalgain(bccb from now on)It was here we got hit with a hail shower which was no nice

By the time we got down to the col the shower had passed and we got clear views all the way up to bccb

Another pit stop on bccb and then of to carn nan ghabhar where again we got to the col and this time got hit with a blizzard ,could not believe this was almost june this bad spell stayed with us right to the top of carn nan ghabhar

Good stuff pigeon on getting round in that weather I experienced it myself up Ben Lawers on Saturday too, the wind was quite strong up top to say the least along with the hail and snow, not nice. Well done on getting to the 50 mark

Summer 'eh

Good effort in nasty conditions - & congrats on the 50.

Was out on Saturday too but decided to not to go too high so went up a Graham (Hunt Hill in Glen Esk). Conditions were pretty good considering (only got rained on properly once) but there looked like a nasty storm over Lochnagar.
