Further than we thought on Ben Lawers

September 23, 2014

Beinn Ghlas 1,103m    Ben Lawers 1,214m   An Stuc  1,118m   Meall Gharbh 1,118m

After a Sunday with Sue and Chris etc in Hadding to we headed to Killin, stopppoming for a great cup of coffee and cake in Callander. We parked the van in the visitor centre car park and spent the night ready for a early start in the morning.

The day started off a bit claggy but we headed up the first peak Beinn Ghlas and carried on or Ben Lawers. We then decided to call it a day and head back as the flag had not cleared. However due to a error in navigation we continued along the ridge towards An Stuc! As w weren’t the weather cleared so we though a good choice had been made by default. Mind you the long walk back was very long by anyone standards. It was a good 10 hour day! A iffy forecast for the next day and our tired legs told us to head home, which we did via a mediocre chippy in Pitlochry. A good day all round……😟😃
