This was the seventh and final day of my winter Munro holiday. I had been very lucky with the weather – light winds and views from five of the eight summits. This day had the best weather of all.

My hire car was showing -7C in Killin that morning and I was nervous about ice on the Ben Lawers road. There were a few scary moments and lots of first gear on the downhill bends but I made the parking space by the dam without a scratch. There was nobody else parked there and I saw no one all day.

I had to get to Glasgow airport that afternoon and wanted to be sure that I had time in hand before stopping to take photographs. All of the pictures are from the summit and the descent but I have reordered them from bottom to top.
