Spectres and snowbows - above the cloud on Bynack More
Munros: Bynack More
Date walked: 11/01/2024
Time taken: 7.25 hours
Distance: 23.5km
Ascent: 1128m
It was a calm but cloudy forecast and with the Christmas excesses playing a major role in my planning, I decided on a straightforward out-and-back up Bynack More from Glenmore campsite. I wasn't expecting too much in the way of views, but got that completely wrong, topping out above the cloud, with snowbows, a brocken spectre and an inversion for a spectacular last 150 m or so..
It's a rare day in Scotland when the top of the mountain has better conditions than the glen, and what a spectacular contrast it was today, with Glenmore grey and misty the whole day. Not sure the people in the pub appreciated me waxing lyrical about it!
