Mid-section Munros; 12th April
Yesterday was one of those “every season in a day” outings as Colin, John & I traversed the classic round of Coir’ a’ Ghreadaidh and its 3 Munros. I ordered clear skies and sunshine for about midday to allow us to tackle the narrow ridge on dry rock and enjoy the views at the same time……

20 minutes later and we were all stripping off the jackets as the hot sunshine returned to dry us out.
John & Colin study where they have been
