Sow of Atholl and Meall na Leitreach 

aka Rounded Hill of the Watercress and Rounded Hill of Slopes

Drumochter hills. as fascinating as always!

Reasonable forecast - time to so some Drumochter corbetts.  Sadly the dull hill on the left was not the Sow of Atholl, too exciting!  That is Sgairneach Mhor.

And here is the top of the Sow of Atholl.  It was that riveting.  That is the other side of the A9 over there I think.

At least I could see some munros - Sgairneach Mhor, and A'Mharconaich to the north

South I could see the A9 (how exciting) and Meall na Leitreach (the flat topped ridge in front, not the exciting peak behind).

Another view of Meall na Leitreach on the way down, with Loch Garry between me and the summit.

And the summit of Meall na Leitreach, after a boggy muddy path and little to write home about.

View north, same munros as above, with added Sow of Atholl on the right.  Oh well, back to the car and home I think.

Last look at the Sow of Atholl.  Bit of a waste of a day, would have been better with more snow I guess (and worse with none!)
