Beinn an Dothaidh

Once Emma had come back from Canada, I was eager to get her back on to the hill and we decided on this one, as primarily, the Bridge of Orchy hotel has a nice bar. Also, we had seen this and it's neighbour, Beinn Dorain, every time we had gone up to the Highlands. It was a fairly driech day and we walked up a gentle path to the col. The part just before the col is quite steep in places but once on the col (ca. 700m), most of the climbing is done. However, by this point it was dingin' it doon so we headed off for the summit in a hurry. I took a compass reading and checked the map to ensure we were heading towards the correct summit cairn, as there appeared to be at least 3. Once we found our cairn, we didn't hang about as it dropped in temperature and the wind at the top was bitter. A quick descent back to the car and ultimately the hotel saw a rather fine pint being had and that lovely warm feeling of being dry and having experienced a miserable day on the hill. Aaahhh.
