    This up and down walk takes in the single Munro, Schiehallion from the Braes of Foss car park. The weather turned out to be better than expected and some limited views were possible from the top.

      Hi Geoffrey, What a cracking top to complete on. Anyone who leaves Schiehallion for their last Munro are well organised and thinking way ahead. Well done... Cheers

    This was my first Munro and was done as nothing more than a day out with some friends. I never planned on doing mountains, but it awakened a love of the hills that has never left me. Schiehallion holds a special place for me. Thanks for the one Charlie 👍

      Hi David, What a great top to start your Munro journey. It's no surprise it started your passion for the hills with its fantastic location and stunning views. Cheers

      Hi Tam, Your right, only in Scotland can you get such a variation in temps. A good morning nonetheless and great to get things moving after a holiday break. Cheers

    Excellent as always. When I was up there it was incredibly blowy and really cold, but it wasn’t July! Scotland, eh? Best wishes Murdo

      Hi Murdo, For the beginning of July it was a bit surprising the wind was quite cold and you were glad to get it at your back. It's all good fun.... Cheers

      Hi Ally, Its a top that's seen a bit of change through the years with great access. The iffy weather certainly didn't encourage you to drive far but we're glad we decided to go and get something done close at hand. Cheers

      @geoffreysutton760 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes,Charlie, well placed for access. It was the first mountain I learnt to recognise because you can see it from lots of places with its pointed summit.

      Hi Paul, The temperature swing from a few weeks ago is quite amazing. We now seem to be in a period of showery/claggy weather ☹ Hopefully, it will settled back into drier conditions soon. Cheers

      Hi Alistair, There wasn't much opportunity for hanging around due to the temperature, so it was a quick circle of the cairn and back down again. Quite enjoyable and worth the effort for the morning. Cheers

    Hi Charlie nice wee mornings leg stretch for you :) You are correct about the path its looking in good shape now a lot better than the battered trig point. I always wondered if there was one there at some point.

      @charliemccartney7055  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Peter, Not sure about the trig point. My old photos only show the cement base so obviously something must have been secured at some point. Cheers
