Hi
Well... what wonderful weather we had for the final weekend of August!!!
I scoured MWIS in search of the best bet for half decent weather. They reckoned east was best sat and west was best sun. Hmm... best pick somewhere sort of in the middle then.
We ended up going heading in Glen Lyon direction fri eve, via Pitlochry because we fancied a chinese for tea!
Parked up behind Loch Tummel for the night before tea got cold!
On Sat we headed to Invervar to do the 4 munros behind (all repeats for Lucy, but as she can't tell me which ones she has not done, I get to choose!). The weather started off promissing, but by the time we got to the top of Carn Gorm, the views had gone. By the time we reached Meall Garbh it had closed in further (about 15m vis) and the rain was on.
It took us a wee whi;le to find the third summit (Carn Mairg). We thought we had found it (false cairn), but upon setting off east from that point it became clear that we were not where we thought we were. Another couple (up from Yorkshire) were in the same boat, and were glad of by GPS gadgetry to take a bearing from. We eventually found the summit after wandering around on the plateu a bit!
From Carn Mairg, we headed east eventually finding an obvious path that took us to the top of Meall na Aighean. From there it was west to the access track through the fog and rain, with a wee detour and associated domestic for good measure!!
We headed up to the dam at Loch an Daimh for the night enjoying a few views through the fog before dark followed by a DVD!
Sunday looked promising, but like Saturday it turned grotty half way up the hill (Stuchd an Lochan). We had a quick bite to eat at the summit, admired the fog/rain/wind, and then headed back down, getting back to the van for soup at lunch time.
A lazy drive home via Killin ended a wet, but pleasent weekend with 5 new Munros in the bag for me. Loops: I am catching you up - you'll have to work out which ones you have not done!!

Routes done were: Poacher, Bladder Wrack, Cullenary Delight, Sea Urchin, Fallen Star & Fisherman's Tail. Headed back to my brother's place in Lintmill for the evening & night. Then over to Jeanie's Dads place in Loch Ailort for rest of weekend, very wet on the Sunday!
