As we descended towards the Monega path, the mountain hares which populate these rolling, spacious, hills appeared and entertained us with their antics. A joy to behold!
Following the wall across the broad ridge between Garbh-choire and Caenlochan Glen, we spotted a large herd of deer - the first seen on this trip.
Given the wind direction, the small summit shelters were of little use so we didn't hang around. Thoughts of adding Carn an Tuirc were rejected with little more than a glance at each other; the reward for walking and climbing with someone for decades. Down to a warm world, but summer has deserted the high tops.

I can feel my down jacket already. Brrr
Today we were little over 800m and a down jacket was right up there in my thoughts. I do run cold but even so....
A lovely area.
It's chilly down south now as well.
:-)
Hi Alan. A bit more sun this week wouldn't have gone amiss. Rain this morning, but it's just great to be here.
