Creag Meagaidh



Creag Meagaidh is one of the best 'local' Munros for me.  A few years ago I had a day up here in the mist - an awful squelching, see nothing, bumbling outing - and it changed my approach to hill-walking.  High Pressure is the name of the game for me these days. Views are such a big part of walking.

This proved to be a great day.  Snow on the tops, ptarmigan, two golden eagles, a merlin and a flock of snow buntings were real highlights.  A snow refuge cut into the deep snow at 'the window' proved a quirky attraction. 

To cap it all we had this view on the shore of Loch Laggan at the end of the day.  High Pressure ... bring it on !
