Ben Vrackie an Ideal Beginners Walk
มุมมอง 3662 หลายเดือนก่อน
A wee jaunt up the corbett Ben Vrackie just outside Pitlochry, a decent day weather ways but also a very busy mountain, due to it being a Saturday and the fact that there were a lot of very inspiring people tackling the corbett to raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Support, a very well maintained footpath and a lovely wee lochan Loch a' Choire at the foot of the mountain, stunning views all aroun...

The last of our six day Glen Affric adventure, tackling the Mullardoch 4, An Socach, An Rhiabhachan, Sgurr na Lapaich & Carn nan Gobhar, the weather looked so promising coming along the loch on the Loch Mullardoch Ferry Service (Angus) but a couple of hours in the conditions changed and steadily got worse throughout the day, certainly a test of character but we lived to tell the tale, myself & ...

Todays Glen Affric adventure, sees us take on Tom a' Choinnich & Toll Creagach from the Chisholm Bridge carpark adjacent to Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin, the weather below 700m was fine but as we climbed higher we soon became engulfed in the clag.

What a day that was Brian, amazing views. I didnt catch who broke their ribs on a segway because she was talking and hit a tree stump? 😂 A great adventure and it didn't stop when you came down from the mountain. I bet you were gasping for a beer, and more so after the extra ½hr walking? ATB Andy
