Meall na Aighean, Carn Mairg, Meall Garbh and Carn Gorm
Already going the wrong way - not an auspicious start |
Hey idiot, it's the other way! |
Beginning to head in the right direction. Carn Gorm behind. |
Opps, we should be over there on the flank of Meall na Aighean instead of here |
At least we got a good view of Carn Mairg
|
And a view up Glen Lyons. Just make out the peak of Stuchd an Lochain on the right. |
Carn Gorm and Meall Garbh from the side of Meall na Aighean. |
Schiehallion. Yes Stuart we did that one back in 2005. |
Top one in sight. |
Peak two - Carn Mairg - impressive. |
Top of Meall an Aighean, looking back along the ridge. |

A biggie - showing Carn Gorm, then An Sgorr that we will skirt behind, Meall Garbh and the long ridge round to Carn Mairg. All that still to go.
And finally from the top of Meall na Aighean, Carn Gorm |
and Meall Garbh |
Looking back at the top of Meall na Aighean |
Nearly at the top of Carn Mairg, across to Ben Lawers and Meall Garbh (a different one). |
The final ascent of Carn Mairg |
The top itself. |
From the top of Carn Mairg - rocks, and then Carn Gorm in the middle, and Meall Garbh to it's right, at the end of that long ridge, and down and up again. |
|
Top of Carn Mairg from the pile of rocks |
And pile of rocks plus Carn Gorm from the top. |

Schiehallion from top of Carn Mairg |
The full range of the Lawers group,including Meall Corranaich and Meall a'Choire Leith and as far as the Tarmachan ridge. Fantastic view. |
|
And another look West, with Stuchd an Lochain, Meall Buidhe and a Garbh Mheall in the distance, then Carn Gorm round to Meall Garbh |
|
Time to leave the top of Carn Mairg, another two to do yet. |
|
Lawers on the left, Stuchd an Lochain at the back, Carn Gorm in the middle, and Loch Rannoch on the right. And the ridge we are about to head along towards Meall Garbh |
|
Start of the ascent to Meall Garbh - Scheihallion poking up behind us |
Back to Meall na Aighean |
A bird. |
|
Scheihallion on the left, the long ridge from Carn Mairg in the middle and Meall na Aighean on the right. |
|
The picturesque top of Meall Garbh. Looked better in the snow. |
|
That Scheihallion gets in so many pictures. And Carn Mairg and Meall na Aighean and Stuart. |
|
Our last hill, Carn Gorm |
Coming round the back of An Sgorr |
Top of Carn Gorm, then it's home |
Looking down to Glen Lyons, with Meall na Aighean on the left |
No idea which way, but it was nice. |
|
The top of Carn Gorm, looking back to Meall Garbh on the left and Scheihallion |
|
Fourth munro of the day, and ready for more. |
Another top of Carn Gorm, we did them all. |
And Carn Mairg and Meall na Aighean. Time for home. |
