Meall a'bhuridh and Creise

This is one of the few Munros that offers some solace if you aren't feeling one-hundred percent.  The chair lift at the White Corries can magically whisk you about half way up the hill. From this mid-station it's a fairly non-descript slog to the top alongside some tow-lifts and the usual ski debris ... but the views behind you over Rannoch Moor are impressive.

It's the summits that make this a good walk and where the sense of place really emerges.  From Meall a'bhuridh there is a nice drop to a bealach with a straightforward ascent (in good visibility) to the ridge that leads to Creise. We had a few ravens to keep us company and their deep calls were just about the only sound we could hear. Creise gives great views up into Glencoe, particularly of the Buachailles. A few red deer about but all in all a fairly quiet day for wildlife.  (August 2012)
