Loch Quoich Munros

Our friends Steph and Richard are up for a visit this week, they have done loads of walking in the Lake District but none in Scotland so we headed out to bag us a couple of Munros. The short drive from the hostel was full of promise - blue skies, still Lochs reflecting the mountains and amazing autumn colours, unfortunately it wasn't the same story down by Loch Quoich where the cloud was already beginning to come in.


Richard set a good pace that soon got us up into the cloud and up to the first Munro, Spidean Mialach. Jen and I have done these two hills before so we told them how good the views are from here and what they could have seen if it was clear.

As we headed up towards to second summit the cloud began to clear and gave us some views. From here it's not far through some quite deep snow to the last Munro, Gleouraich, which was teasing us with some lovely views of the neighbouring peaks peeping through the clouds. It was Jen's turn now to set the pace as we headed back down towards the van/pub/hot meal.

Oh, and I'd like to take this opportunity to say hello to the blog's second biggest fan (after my grandparents) - Hello Steph's dad!
