First views
The moment a 20 minute wait in clag and a bitter wind at Geal Charn's summit was rewarded with the clouds clearing away to reveal views and blue-sky. The speed it went from cold and grey to this was exhilarating.

The eastern flanks of Gael Charn in the Monadhliath mountains from Glen Markie, Scotland
Two weeks touring and hiking in the western highlands of Scotland, in between lockdowns... From Stirling we headed north to Glen Shiel. On the way we stopped at the Spey Damn for a hike up Gael Charn via Glen Markie. Despite being September there were still plenty of midges.....

Notes
- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
