Carn nan Gabhar - Beinn A' Ghlo

Windy as ...., and knackering

Carn Liath was all that could be seen heading up the road

First sort of decent view of Beinn A' Ghlo - got to go up Argiod Bheinn first, which itself is 1061 metres but not a munro

Back down the track - did I really cycle up this?  Not all four miles were as bad as this, though some was worse!

And that is where I am going.

Carn Liath from the other side?

And Braigh Coire Chruinn bhalgain in the cloud

Looking back - no wonder I am feeling pain

The views make it all worthwhile

As the wind howled and I clambered around trying to hold on, I hoped this was the top, but no, just the first cairn.

Hat blown off, but fortunately recovered - surely the trig point is the top?

No, it is out there somewhere

Finally, summit of Carn nan Gabhar

Under seven miles from the start, but felt much more, what with cyclying and pretty sheer ascendency and the wind trying desparately to remove me.

So I wasn't alone - never saw them though

Looking down Glas Leathad towards Glen Tilt

And my route back down Alt Bealach an Fhiodha - much easier than the ascent route directly up Airgiod Bheinn

Final view of the West end of Beinn A'Ghlo before I got back on my bike

As ever the day improved as I got off the hill and back to the car.  Oh well!
