A change of plan!

Creag Gharbh 637m (g)

Bike and Hike

20km and 441m elevation bike 2.1km and 132m elevation hike

The day started to not go as planned when I took the wrong route to get to the start of the walk I had planned up two Munros near Ben Lawers. So I was late at the start and also the cloud was so low it was nearly at the level of the start of the walk. I stopped in the Ben Lawers car park made a brew and had a think. I was on my way to Cumbria and had my bike with me as I planned to go to Grizedale to have a go on the red route later in the week. So I spied a walk report on walk highlands for the Fiona Creag Gharbh, someone had walked along the Rob Roy way from Glen Ogle and it looked very cyclable. So it was a plan.

Wow I am not bike fit. But there were some steep sections and you know how I hate pushing my bike! Which I had to 4 times. It was undulating too which meant some up on the way back but it was a good call as the top was clear and I could see the could on my first choice route was getting even lower. Back to the van and away south. I spend the night at my spot outside Moffat and then carried on to Kai’s via joes the next day.
