Drive up to the top end of Glen Lyon was great. I hadn’t been at this end of the glen before, but it’s well worth a visit. There was a large heard of deer grazing close to the road at Meggernie Castle, but soon fled once they caught the scent of my camper van!
I had planned to walk right round Loch an Daimh, taking in both of todays Munros, one on either side of the loch. The weather wasn’t inviting however, with the by now familiar low cloud (500m), cold persistent wind and the threat of rain. A quick trudge up through the mist to find a positively stormy Meall Buidhe and then back down to re-ascend the lost height back up to Stuchd an Lochain.
Right on cue as I was about half way down, the rain stopped, the clouds lifted and the sun came out. I could have sworn I heard a cuckoo!
