Bluebird weather, warm and sunny in the sunny valleys but a bit
nippier up on the high plateau, but nobody complained of being
cold.
Meet
organiser - dressed for the conditions
Thirteen
set out to complete the walk, Ken T however, doubled
back in order to carry out his driving duties so we would have a
bus to meet with at Allargue
It was a very pleasant walk along the trails of Glen Avon and
after some discussion we decided to take a turn up a very remote
glen , possibly called Glen Feggie to gain access to the
plateau.
Not much snow here
Topping out of this remote glen
On the way we passed a ravine called 'The Eag'', certainly an
area nobody had visited before.
The mysterious Eag reveals itself
We then parted company with Ruth who decided to cut short the
walk and head down to the valley
The going was very mixed, but not too arduous and we made our
way up to Craig Veann
Ascending Craig Veann...looking back.....The views over to Ben
Avon were amazing.

The electric fence followed the boundary
Ascending snow cover slopes of our Carn Ealasaid
The very flat summit area of Carn Ealasaid

We ended the day with a nice drink at the Allargue Hotel.
