Meall Ghaordaidh (the Hill of the Shoulder, apparently)
And the promised rain only fell a bit - a good day
Setting off |

|
The first hurdle (or style!) |
Ubiquitous stop to change clothes |
|
The day didn't hold much promise! |
........but there was still hope! |
|
Going up. After a mile or so up the Allt Dhuin Croisg as it's known we turned left up the first shoulder. |
First (and only) sight of the distant hill. Bog not clearly seen. |
|
Customary stop for clothing change. Looking back down Glen Lochay towards Killin. |
Clouds rolling up the valley. That isn't our challenge, just the small ridge of Creag Laoghain. |
|
The hill is around somewhere? |

On through the mist. |
Loch Lyon dam and power station |
|
All right, a view of Stochd an Lochain to the left and Garbh Mheall straight ahead. |
Back down the shoulder we scaled, toward Creag Laoghain. |
|
The top. |
The lunch. |
|
Thanks for the pictures Stuart. Must do it again? |
The descent. |
|
Big hills to the South - could be Ben More? |
And to the West up Glen Lyon to some other big hills. There are
so many of them. Beinn Heasgarnich
perhaps?

|
Another munro taken. |
