In December 2006, I obviously hadn't put Fraser off as he was back on the hill with Shaz and I. We thought a high starting point of 1400ft would be a nice Winter's day out. After parking at the Ben Lawers car park, we headed up towards the col between Meall Corranaich and Bheinn Glas at 800m. It was bitter and we pressed on up the steep face, following in the footsteps of some kind gent. Once on to the summit, we didn't hang about as we wanted to get along towards our 2nd objective of the day. The ridge walk along to the bealach was as cold as I've ever felt and I thought my nose was going to fall off. However, the views across to the Ben Lawers range were fantastic and it wasn't long before we were heading up towards the lower Munro of the two, Meall a Choire Leith - there certainly was sunshine on this hill but the summit cairn was quite bleak. Some grub, a wee cup of tea and we headed down towards the road. From here, we walked back along towards the car and it was a great day out. We stopped off at the Lade Inn, near Callander - fabby beer and then off back to Glasgow. A good year for hills and thanks to all those who came along and made the hills so enjoyable - Shaz, Emma, Fraser, Norah and Gav.
