3 munros!
racing a patch of blue sky up beinn ghlas but just missed it. got up ben lawers in the clear though miraculously and got some nice views. morale was low on the last hill as the weather turned to pure shite and my legs got tired. completely not worth my trouble as the top was boring and the descent was horrendous, couldnt find the path at all and had to just run hoping for the best and trying not to throw myself off a cliff by accident. my ankles almost snapped

meall nan tarmachan, beaut day, beaut munro

went with a bag despite feeling a bit of that back pain again (it feels better now tho) in an attempt to bring me and my mum to the same pace (definitely not cos i forgot my bumbag) but didnt work. quite pleased with my pace carrying the bag especially to say im not too tired. views were amazing, even saw top of ben nevis- and every summit on the ridge was huge even if only 1 was a munro- and the coolest munro ive ever seen, very rocky and bumpy. A slow boggy descent which became a fast boggy descent when i yeeted myself cross country to the woods. a lovely outing

Except for getting stuck in some woods and if you're tired of hearing about my oopsies i'm sorry i'll try summarise- climbed thru fence, saw deer, got stuck in fallen trees, failed to get thru or go round, almost went down big waterfall, got followed by a swarm of flies, climbed thru more trees, eventually found path, saw deer again

post open day stress, train delays and phone dying, quick run down to the river in killin for some pics on the day's energy of a packet of crisps

oh and i developed a stabbing pain in my back which became excruciating after this

the only benefit to the worst weather I have ever experienced in the woods was that i was literally the only person in the entire park

core, its still sore the next day wowee need to sort meself out
