We've dropped off Culardoch and are now climbing Creag an Dail Bheag. Nearing the summit plateau, a Ptarmigan blends in perfectly with its surroundings. Culardoch is a Corbett standing at 900 meters (2952 feet), while Creag an Dail Bheag stands at 863 meters (2831 feet).

Culardoch
We've reached the summit plateau of Creag an Dail Bheag and the marker cairn that guides the way. The hill in the distance is Culardoch which was our first climb of the day and where we've just come from. On to the summit though!! Culardoch is a Corbett standing at 900 meters (2952 feet), while Creag an Dail Bheag stands at 863 meters (2831 feet).

Summit of Creag an Dail Bheag
After much debate as to where the true summit was, we trekked a further 0.5 mile to reach this inconspicuous summit cairn of Creag an Dail Bheag. The high slopes of Ben Avon (pronounced A'an) is in the distance. All that remains now is the descent back to the bikes! Culardoch is a Corbett standing at 900 meters (2952 feet), while Creag an Dail Bheag stands at 863 meters (2831 feet).

A Small Break
Descending down Creag an Dail Bheag to regain the bikes a break in the clouds lights up Ben Avon (pronounce Ben A'an). But the epic day of climbing 2 Corbetts, Culardoch and Creag an Dail Bheag is over, so until next time folks .. Culardoch is a Corbett standing at 900 meters (2952 feet), while Creag an Dail Bheag stands at 863 meters (2831 feet).
