Scotland - Thursday 16th - Saturday 18th July 2020
A long-awaited trip to Scotland, this time with Craig.
We drive to Dalwhinnie, cycle (BOB Ibex en-tow) to Culra Lodge bothy (now closed) and set-up our wee basecamp by the Allt; a perfect setting.
Then we head off on foot, climbing Lancet Edge onto the Munro Geal-Charn (1132m) and then north west to Carn Dearg (1034m). A steep descent takes us back to basecamp and a chilled beer and even more chilled dip in the river.
Day 2, we head off on bikes to Loch Patrick, and then west into An Lairig, we leave bikes here and head to Beinn A Chlachair (1087m), then Creag Pitridh (924m) and Geal Charn (1049m), easy slopes lead us back to the bikes and an easy ride back to the tents. A relaxing afternoon and spectacular views of the hills later in the evening.
Day 3, up and out early. We head to Ben Alder (1148m), via Long Leurchers Edge. The weather is grim on the plateau, hat, gloves, jackets, map & compass......Scottish summer ! Careful nav leads us to the bealach, and then onto Beinn Bheoil (1019m), a quick descent and steady run back to base camp, all within 3 hours. Then it’s just a case of packing up and cycling back to Dalwhinnie for the easy drive home, via excellent fish & chips in Dunkeld.
A great trip.
