Showers
Visibility varied throughout the walk, although it happened to clear at the points where navigation might have gone wrong! This is looking back towards Carn Liath, just before the shower reached me and I had to get the waterproofs out and put my camera away! Beinn a'Ghlo from just outside Blair Atholl, via Munros Carn Liath (976m), Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain (1070m) and Carn nan Gabhar (1121m) plus Munro top Airgiod Bheinn (1061m). The walk was around 20km and took 7.5 hours.
