Creag Meagraidh: 9th April 2011

Creag Meagaidh 1128m      Stob Poite Coire Ardair 1054m    Carn Liath1006m

Simply the best day of the year! We were out 8 hours and our legs and my heal stood up very well. We met quite a few people – it was a Saturday and they had mostly come up the ridge of Sron a’ Ghoire or Carn Laith which was our decent. We thought that our route the best as the other ways very very heathery and tussocky!

Looking up the glen with the window just visable on the left and Stob Poite Coire Ardair  in the mist

Meagaidh’s mighty cliffs!

Raeburn’s Gully – grade1 *** – with just a line of snow in it.- very sugary we thing as there was water running down the cliffs on the right. Easy gully hidden behind the central spur.
