Drove up late on Friday night stopping a while on Rannoch Moor to watch the sunset over Beinn A`Chrulaiste.....

Eventually found the others down Glen Etive and had a few Grolsch...plus some Morgans Spice,Jack Daniels and Stella.

The much vaunted alpine start failed to materialise the next morning needless to say and there was some discussion as to where to go.Dom and Jen headed off to Curved Ridge,Gordon,Paul and Martine went down Glen Etive to bag a few Munros,whilst I headed off in search of better weather out west.


Went round to the northern shore of Loch Leven and headed up Mam na Gualinn from Callert.It was very humid and was doing
nothing for my hangover.Almost stood on this snake (slow worm)on the way up.....

The surrounding Munros were carpeted in the usual grey cloud but Mam na Gualinn remained clear all day.Had a chat with a couple of French Canadians near the summit...the only folk I met all day.Reasonable views down to Glencoe village.....

Had a fag at the cairn ....

Headed off west down the ridge back to the col.From there a quick jaunt up the Graham of Tom Meadhoin gave me another tick.The flies were doing my head in on this one so had a quick slug of juice,ditched the sack and headed out to bag the Marilyn of Doire Ban.The sun came out on this one and fried me... I`d left my hat behind in the sack :oops: Headed down and round to the Ice Factor for a quick wash and cappuccino before driving round to Glen Etive for beer and sausages.

I can`t remember offhand doing 3 hills on the one day in 3 different major categories :D

Alpine start... does that involve getting out the van late to see if anyone was offering free Italian filter coffee and free rolls and sausage? A mention must be made of our kindly Friday night neighbour Jamie, who shared out the beers and food, entertained us with his music and put on his car headlights so we could set up our tents. If Carlsberg made neighbours at campsites...
