Sgor Gaoith and Mullach Clach a Bhlair 1 July 2017

A sunny morning in the Cairngorms and an early start for Glen Feshie - a good stalking path up to Carn Ban Mhor, then on to Sgor Gaoith, a distinctive pointed peak (3,668') with wonderful views across to Braeriach and the massif of the Cairngorms. Superb high level walking for another 3m north, again on excellent paths with expansive views, took me to Mullach Clach a'Bhlair and the second of the day's two Munros, slightly lower at 3,343'. The walk down led to a riverside path through a beautiful woodland of Caledonian pines and alongside the River Feshie, a very enjoyable 3 miles in the afternoon sun. Munro total now 199.
