Beinn Dorain, Beinn an Dothaidh, Beinn Achaladair, Beinn a' Chreachain & Beinn Mhanach. Walked with Ali on this '4 seasons in one day' kind of day. Big ole walk but felt very satisfied to have completed all the Bridge of Orchy hills in a one-er. Slightly swollen right knee the following day but hopefully nothing serious. Bring on the big days!

Carn Ghluasaid |
| |

|
Date: 20th May
Buddies: Ali
Meaning:
Cairn like hill of movement
Height: 957 metres
Time: 5.0 hrs |
|
Carn Ghluasaid, Sgurr nan Conbhairean and Sail Chaorainn. Climbed with the beautiful Alison on a much drier, sunnier, calmer Sunday than the previous day at Loch Quoich. Yomped up the first hill, though the second was still depressingly high compared to the first. Number 3 went easily followed by an interesting (I don't think Ali agreed) traverse of the Sgurr nan Conbhairean W face followed by a boggy/slippy yomp down off the hill where I proceeded to break my walking pole while still maintaining my dignity- see photos when they get put on!

Meaning:
Noisy hill
Height:

metres
Time: 5.5 hrs |

Gleouraich & Spidean Miallach. Climbed these two on a filthy day in May- it did get brighter- or should that be drier- as the day went on. Climbed with Ali and felt that my role as an anchor may prove useful should she be blown away. Thankfully that didn't happen and we both survived! I'm sure the views over to Knoydart would have been lovely as well as those towards Glen Shiel. I'm sure there'll be more of these days to come. Woohoo!

Ben Starav & Glas Bheinn Mhor. Climbed with Ali, Anne and Andrew. Attempted this 'brutal ascent' with trepidation, but it turned out to be groovy, forming a really quite haunting ridge (appearing in and out of cloud) Got more sleaty snow on top and yomped back to go to the party in Aberfeldy. I've left out Beinn nan Aighenan which could prove costly in the future, but Sazza's more important eh!

Meall a' Bhuiridh and Creise. Climbed up these two with Ali on the easier route. Looks like a fantastic scramble up Creise going the 'usual' way- I can't wait to have a go next year!

Stob a' Choire Mheadhion & Stob Coire Easain. Climbed these with Gazza and Ali on a slightly drizzly day. We were snowed on on the summits! Gaz pointed out some fascinating upland ecology- though we've since been told this is his way of taking breaks without losing face! s.
