Glen Lyon -Four Munros, Brocken Spectres

[Scots_Charles_River]

We did these four today. Start up through the woods following the orange topped posts. Up the muddy Hydro track, then cut off left for the first summit. Bluesky apart from 20mins of zero visibility, then t shirt all day. We came off the last summit then re joined the hydro track.

18km 6 1/2 hrs. Sore legs as first 2 or more Munro day since June.

Weird looking west and north to Glencoe and Ben Nevis to see zero frost or snow, at this time of year.

First Munro

Never seen a white Brocken spectre, but horseshoes shaped like a full rainbow. Not a great photo. Technical name - Fogbow.

V. nice. I was in the Brecon Beacons this weekend with the same weather. Almost a full cloud inversion & a Broken Spectre too.

Good stuff Nick, I'm getting fat and lazy since I came back from the CWT

I am trying to shed fat and get hill fit for winter climbing, it's not the climbing that's hard but the walk in and crag apron with all the kit !
Now Mountain biking one night a week and indoor rock climbing once a week. Easy to 'hibernate' with short days/long nights.
