a new years day wander, caught the gondola up from glen coe ski area as we had a later than planned start due to the day of the year. started out dry with a bit of low cloud.
upon summiting the wind was ferrocious, knocking me off my feet, and making for hard navigation in whiteout conditions.
stew and ken wedged me between them and we moved together, making it back down just in time for the gondola ride down, mountain had been closed due to the adverse weather!
Area :
Glen Etive to Glen Lochy
This is the area south of Buachaille Etive Mor as far as the A85 (Tyndrum to Oban road). It includes the peaks around the Glencoe Ski Centre (Creise and Meall a’Bhuiridh) alongside eleven other Munros and many other peaks above 600m. Highlights such as Ben Cruachan (1126m) and Stob Ghabhar (1090) remind all-comers that this is an area of high mountains and low glens.
