Glas Maol group 12 May 2013

A fairly long day over 6 Munros in deteriorating weather conditions, starting fine in the morning then cloud, wind and rain in the afternoon. We started from the Glenshee car park at about 2000 ft, heading first up Creag Leacach (3.238') then across to Glas Maol, the highest of the day at 3,504'. Then across boggy ground, and a surprising number of snow patches, to Cairn of Claise (3.491') which gave us our last view of the day. The views through the day were expansive and rolling, from Schiehallion and Beinn a'Ghlo to Mount Keen. The rest of the peaks were a bit of a slog, Tom Buidhe (3,140') and Tolmount (3,143') being fairly nondescript bumps. Then a long walk in fog, drizzle and strong wind across to the last peak of the day, Carn an Tuirc at 3,343'. Finally back to the A93. My Munro total is now 99!
