This meet was attended by 13 members and guests. They were rewarded with a calm and glorious day with sun and blue skies all day. A bit of windchill on some of the tops, but I didn’t hear anyone complain. Everyone was at the gate in good time for meet organiser Fiona D. to check numbers and agree car positioning at the start and end of the Munro round.

The majority of people (Alan, Lauren, Neil, Stephen, Tony, Maggie, Mirella, Sandra, guests Fiona and Rose) did an anticlockwise round of the 4 Munros. This was a fantastic ridge walk and I can safely say that everyone had a fantastic day. Ever mindful of getting back to the locked gate by the 6pm deadline meant that there was little time for picnic stops.

Eric Brown started at the far end of the glen and walked up the Allt Toll a Mhuic. Before reaching the ridge, he climbed a short grassy slope and onto the Munro Top Sgurr na Fearstaig. He continued on to the Munro Sgurr Fhuar-thuill and Munro Top Creag Ghorm a Bhealaich. From there he descended the south ridge before dropping west towards the loch and back along the path to the start point.

Fiona and Babs walked up the path with Eric but continued up to the bealach and from there onto the Munro Top Sgurr na Fearstaig. Having climbed the Munros before they decided to explore and headed further west then they intended. This resulted in some retracing of steps and a descent of a steep slope back to the ascent path. The shapely Graham Beinn na Muice was considered but following a number of picnic stops and the earlier exploration, sense prevailed and they headed down the path to the car.

The Munro baggers were down at the car by 5.15pm (in good time I thought!). A quick change of footwear etc and a 6km drive to the remaining cars. Then a longer than expected drive to the gate resulted in everyone being there with 2 minutes to spare. Perfect timing I thought. Everyone was on a high having experienced an amazing day. A very successful day meet.
