Thanks to Air Miles and a free ticket, I was able to take advantage of the first fine weather in Scotland for quite a few weeks. Due to reduced daylight hours in November, a fairly short route in the Ben Lawers range in Perthshire. After a drive past Ben Lomond at dawn, from the summit of the road through the range (at 1,900') I ascended south east through boggy terrain to reach the SW ridge and then the summit of Meall Corranaich, an excellent viewpoint at 3,507'. The glens were filled with fog with only the mountains protruding - an amazing sight, a form of cloud inversion I have never seen before. Panorama from the southern peaks beyond Loch Tay, round to Glen Lyon and then towards Rannoch Moor and Glencoe, with more cloud in the west. There were several walkers on the mountains enjoying the conditions, and the ridge north then led to the lower peak of Meall a Choire Leith (3,038'), and then back to the road via an extremely boggy descent.
Munros completed now 67, or almost a quarter of the total....
