So... I did my first munro in 2 and a half years...
Route: The Cairnwell Munros
Munros: Càrn a' Ghèoidh, Càrn Aosda, The Cairnwell
Date walked: 23/05/2012
Time taken: 6 hours
Distance: 13.6km
Ascent: 750m
Those with a long memory will remember I pranged the tendons in both legs through (a) stupidity (b) over tightening crampon straps. Long story short - it has taken two and a half years to heal (hopefully properly) and yesterday was my first (second and third) munro since the initial injury.
I opted for the Cairnwell 3 since it gave me many jumping off points if I felt things weren't going well - that, and you start off about two-thirds of the way up them anyway.
No point waffling on about this, that and the other since the Cairwell 3 are, well, 'non descript' to put it politely.
Having said that, here is a route map followed by a selection of photos...

- "Don't you dare wear that hat around town," she said. Didn't say anything about posting pictures on the internet though... :)
- Art for sure
- Welcoming barbed wire bed in the shed on the Cairnwell
- The rugged beauty of the Cairnwell
- Apparently this building is alarmed with an intruder detection system. Intruders beware!
- Just as pretty from this side
