19km, 1610m. 6.45am-5.45pm
A great day with Reaseheath College colleagues - James Telfor, Matt Chapman and Richard Cooper. Soft slab made it hard going off the tracks. Freezing level 450m in morning but roads were frozen when we finished. started and finished in the dark. James and Richard dropped off the ridge early and dropped down to the reservoir, but had a nightmare getting down to the road. Matt and I were waiting about 1.5 hours having driven round!
Fantastic views in the afternoon after the cloud headed south.
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.
