Fersit Hills - 23 August 2014

On Saturday I headed to Fersit at the North end of Loch Treig to ascend the Munros, Stob Coire Sgriodain and Chno Dearg whilst also taking in the Munro top, Meall Garbh.
It was very cold for the time of year and with a strong NW breeze and heavy showers it felt unseasonably cold for the middle of August, More Autumnal than Summer, there was also the odd spell of sleet and hail, brrr! A great day out...
