Meall Buidhe (Glen Lyon)

So, on the Easter weekend, Emma and I decided to head up and take a pleasant stroll up this Munro. A longish drive but conditions were good and we set off from the Dam, up the land rover track. Camera shot looked good for Stuchd ad Lochain but the battery was flat. Baws. However, we carried on and it wasn't long before we were heading up towards Meall Phuill. The going was quite easy and once we had started heading along the 1 km walk towards the summit, we both felt as if we hadn't really been up a Munro at all. The visibility was spectacular, with views across Rannoch Moor to the Buachaille and across to Schiehallion. We would liked to have had lunch behind the summit cairn but the ladies were not for moving so we touched the cairn and headed back to luncheon at a lovely spot on a large prow of rock much further down the hill. Back at the car in 3 hours and hard to accept that another Munro (70) was in the bag. A fine day oot and probably never an easier Munro with good conditions and fine banter.
