Two at a time baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We made our third attempt, this year, to get to the summit of Ben Vorlich. On both of our past attempts, the weather beat us back.

On the the 5th July, the forecast was for sun with shower, with some wind rising gusts of 40mph max. So, in good faith we set off, thinking it would probably be a pleasant summer days walking.

As Ben Vorlich came into view it became apparent that the weather was somewhat at odds with the forecast. The summit was shrouded in cloud and as we climbed higher it was clear that it was going to be another very windy day.

We were frozen, but trumphant as we reached the summit and our glee lead us to successfully make it up to Stuc a Chroin!

Rather wind blown, we returned to the car, glorious in the knowledge that we had done both the Munros in the area and that we would not have to return again, well not this year anyway!!!
