Saturday 1st May

 

Munros: Ben Alder (1148m) (mountain of rock and water) via the Short Leachas - Sron Coire na h-Iolaire - Beinn Bheoil (1019m) (mountain in front)
An impressive day, starting with that scramble onto the mighty Ben Alder.

Sunday 2nd May

 

Munros: The Lancet Edge - Sgor Iutharn - Geal Charn (1132m) (white cairn) - Aonach Beag (little ridge) - Beinn Eibhinn (1100m) (mountain of the fair outlook).
Followed by a delightful walk back on a good stalkers' path.

The Lancet Edge makes this day for me, with its 'concentrate your mind and feet' scramble.

Monday 3rd May

 

Munro: Diollaid a'Chair - Carn Dearg (1034m) (red cairn).
An 'easy stroll' day.

Followed by the long walk (or easier cycle) back to Dalwhinnie and the return to Stirling via Ballinluig for a meal or snack - you will have been hallucinating about this!.
