Ben Liath Mhor Fannaich 16 October 2014

Looking North towards The Beinn Dearg hills, weather looks promising at this point

Today I was planning on traversing the 4 Munro's that make up the Eastern Fannaichs but the weather had other ideas. The forecast was for conditions to improve in the afternoon before deteriorating again in the evening. By the time I arrived on the summit of Ben Liath Mhor Fannaich, the very strong SE wind was now gusting even stronger with intermittent rain sleet and hail, not very pleasant, time to head back!
After coming through the cloud base, which was now at 600m, I had a great walk back listening to the stags roaring in the distance, great but wild day!
