we started at the car park around 9:30 – 10 after a massive palava with trying to get parked. As we started along a path before quickly turning off onto a track, there was a guy strimming. We had no idea what he was doing but passed him quickly. Reaching the top of Maell nan Tarmachan in just an hour and a half. Having a quick break on the top we continued on passing a small lochan before reaching the next peak Meall Garbh. We continued walking to find a small scramble I was excited for this but my dad went first and said absolutely not we are going round so I glumly followed. I was completely over this by the time we reached the bottom. On further inspection the scramble was alright to do but you pick your moments, I was over mine. continuing on to the final peak after this it was time to descent. Through the mud and bog and peat we went. I was only minorly upset when my legs being too short to go over, ended up landing directly in a bogy puddle rather than besides one. After the treacherous journey down the hill, we arrived on the path that would lead us back to the car park, me with still slightly squelchy boots. It took longer than expected to walk along the path, stopping by a small stream to dip our feet in. arriving back at the car at a round three – another Munro successfully bagged.
