Description

09.30 - 14.15, 10km, 770m.
Cloud base 700m, freezing level 400m, moderate winds, and white out on summit plateau. Invervar, stalkers path up onto west ridge of Creag Mhor and back. This was a short day tidying up a Munro left from a walk in 1997 with dad. Had to get down early to get over to Ballater before the Glenshee snow gates closed! Great white out nav, had to look at the feet to make sure I was walking uphill instead of just breaking through a bit of soft slab!

Area : Glen Lyon to Glen Dochart & Loch Tay (Ben Lawers)

This area covers the peaks to the north and east of Crianlarich. Glen Lyon forms the northern boundary while the road from Crianlarich to Aberfeldy is the southern boundary. The Ben Lawers group in the east of this area includes seven separate peaks, all Munros, which are part of an impressive 12km ridge line. The western side of this area is generally lower and not as steep but does still home some a number of Munros. All major peaks above 600m are included in the mountains list. The area to the north is Loch Rannoch to Glen Lyon.
