That Sinking Feeling
Passing the final piece of wreckage, this is the vertical stabiliser from the RAF Canberrra jet which crashed on the other side of t-Sagairt Mor in 1956. This piece has found its way right over the other side and down into the Glen we've had to descend into before making the final climb to Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach. We're having to climb t-Sagairt Mor to reach Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach, our final destination. Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach (pronounced Carn a-Corry voddoyich - or something like) stands at 1118 meters (3667 feet) and completes my circuit of the five Munro's of White Mounth. It's taken me 3 years and 4 separate climbs to complete this circuit, starting with my first ever Munro Lochnagar in 2016, but I'm there at last!!
