Drumochter - Geal Charn, A'Mharconaich, Beinn Udlamain, Sgairneach Mhor 23 May 2015

A solo walk in superb morning sun and a round of the four W Drumochter Munros brought my tally up to 159. Dotterel and Golden Plover, presumably on passage, were all around the first cairn, Geal Charn at 3,008'. Pleaant ridge walking and moderate ascents led on to A'Mharconaich at 3,199' then Beinn Udlamain at 3,314' where I nearly tripped over a pair of very confiding Ptarmigan. The final peak after a sweeping ridge was Sgairneach Mhor (3,251') following which I descended heathery slopes and followed the river back to the A9. A very enjoyable day. Munro total now 159.
