First ever munro and managed two. The route we took wasn't the best to hit Ben Lawers as we ended up going up Ben Ghlas first and the kids thought we'd done it. After hitting the peak of Ghlas we had a bit of descent then back up Ben Lawers. Finally got to the top then return route was a lot easier along the western side of Ghlas. There was still a lot of winter snow so we had to take it easy (the dog didn't get the memo) but was still a nice enough hike down. The wind and mist was such that i couldnt get the drone up for more epic shots and videos unfortunately
Stopped recording just before the summit of Ben Lawers (but my photos prove I was there with the trig point and cairn)
A bit like walking on the main road! Route soooo busy - gazillions of paragliders heading up plus queues to take pic at top of Ben Lawers! But lovely not technical walk. And it was a cracking hot day!
First two Munros of 2022 🤩 a sunny day at the bottom, but both summits were shrouded in cloud. Legs aching and self-doubt whispering after a long winter away from the hills. But we made it. Munro season is officially open!
An absolutely stunning weather day in Highland Perthside 😎. Ben Lawers is the tenth highest Munro though it's height is somewhat undermined by a high level car park to begin the ascent. Another Munro, Beinn Ghlas, passes by on the way up Ben Lawers (with apologies to the thousands who know all this! 🤓). Outstanding views on such a clear day down over Loch Tay and the surrounding mountains.
