Beinn Mheadhoin

A great weekend forecast so set off on Friday evening and camped at Derry Lodge. Gorgeous evening. Watched some black grouse lecking. Shadow man was there too:


Very cold at night - ice formed in my water bottle!

Here I am after Derry Cairngorm with Loch Etchachan below:


Slightly earlier in the walk with Cairn Toul in the background to the left and Ben Macdui in the middle:
