Creag Mac Ranaich - my new favourite corbett

Oh my, oh my, oh my ...

Now I start to remember exactly what walking up mountains is all about: first of all you need a great landscape; secondly you need great weather; thirdly you need the perfect corbett - not too high that you kill yourself, and near enough to stunning hills that you can enjoy the views from the top. Wow!!

Start from Lochearnhead, go up a good path through Glen Kendrum and Creag Mac Ranaich stands impressively on your right. What a walk!

I only wish my photos could do justice to a view that took in so many munros, including Ben Lomond (too hazy for my lens) and Ben Lui, as well as all the ones below. This truly was a 360 degree view of stunning proportions. I could have spent hours at the top drinking in the views.

Yes that really is the top of Ben Lawers ...
