Glen Ey (not bagging)

Since I'm heading offshore this week Juliette and I decided to head out on Saturday for a blast over the Glen Ey hills.  The choice of venue was definitely not down to Juliette not having ticked them yet though....

The other AMCers met us at the Inverey carpark at 0900 and we set off on bikes to Altanour lodge.

Ditching the bikes here we headed off up a good stalkers path following the Alltan Odhar and on-wards up onto Carn Bhac.  The wind was definitely wintry  and the could see snow up on Carn Toul - hopefully with plenty more to come this year!!

From Carn Bhac we headed along the glen skyline to Beinn a Lutharn Mor where we passed a couple of other parties making their way up the hill further east.  A quick wheech over to Mam nan Carn

and then to Beinn a Lutharn Bheag with intermittent hail showers was next with cracking views over to The Carnwell hills, and Glas Maol over Loch nan Eun followed.

A quick sandwich stop, then over the last munro, An Socach, back to the bikes and a fine coast back down the glen to the cars.  The obligatory rain shower caught us just before the cars so we were nice and damp for the drive home too!

A fine day out, with just enough of a hint of winter to get the imagination going for the coming season.
