At Drummochter Pass, the high point after the long pull up the A9 from Blair Atholl is a good place for winter munro bagging becasue teh starting hight of 400m leaves half the job done in terms of altitude gained – the west side has Geal Charn, A Mharconnich and Ben Udlamain – which have great views out over Loch Ericht but somehow the east side’s big flat topped lumps, somehow have never held the same attraction – I was wrong! I found myself at a loose end on saturday afternoon, so instead of tidying the bunkhouse, I headed up a landrover track up the frozen heathery slopes of A’Bhuidheanach Bheag with Alex and Sophie for some blatant Munro bagging – the track all the way to the summit was a bit of a cheat but the wide open views of the wintry sunset were definitely inspiring! Walking up hills is never dull!
