Decided to have a bash at this Glencoe lark, but rather than be sensible and stop over somewhere, thought I'd try and do it in a day...
I'd been watching the forecast for a few days and saw that there was rain/snow forecast for Monday and Tuesday but Wednesday looked sweet. Figured the rain would be snow in Glencoe, at least on the tops anyway so set off Tuesday evening at 8pm. Arrived in Glencoe at about 4am. I was after the 'done to death' pano of the Buachaille but I think I ascended the wrong part so I fluffed it. Brilliant. the snow was waist deep in parts and pretty tiring to trudge through, especially considering I'm off work with a bad back and sciatica. The doctor did say to exercise it as much as possible though. Shot through until about 2pm at which point the cloud rolled in and I decided to call it a day and head home. Torrential rain on the way home caused some flash flooding so hitting that at 60mph just added to the fun of the day. Safe to say I was ready for bed. Still have some more to process but these are my picks so far.
