The pea soup I drove through looks so innocuous from a distance.

A fine morning sky to encourage me along the track.

Target ahead.

I find the forecast of windlessness off-putting but the cool morning temperature helps.

I opted for the burnside path but staying on the track would have been easier. Still ok though, just a bit boggy in places.

The great bulk of Braeriach ahead.

Sgoran Dubh Mor looking grand.

Not sure who these belong to but my guess is Sgor Gaoith.

The admittedly not very exciting route up to Carn a' Phris-ghiubhais.

The fine headwall of Coire Odhar.

First glimpse of Loch Eanaich.

Lurcher's Crag.

Less impressive view than that further west.

A long walk is an act of will. I think I see a long walk plan forming in my head.
