Thanks for that. I was very lucky because I had great weather. It wouldn’t be much fun in a white out.
Cheers, Alen

It’s nice to know what the views round there actually look like. When I was up on the Devils point in April all we could see was a white out all along the ridge to Braeriach.

Charlie.

Thank you for that. And yes, it’s why we do it. Having read a great deal of your thoughts on the subject, I think we’re both coming from the same direction on that one.
All the best, Alen

A fantastic post accompanied by jaw dropping ruggedness & beauty.

It was jolly hard work coming down as well. I was very lucky with the weather. It was one of those one-off days. I must say, I’ve had one or two freezing bothy nights but I wouldn’t fancy a week of them.
Cheers, Alen

Looks like you were exceptionally lucky with the weather.
The route from Corrour up the Devil’s Dick is exceedingly steep. Went up there one winter in a borrowed pair of crampons during a hard week of freezing bothy nights. Scared me silly to be honest.

I reckon I’ve cycled up that track four or five times now and had a hard day’s walking nearly every time. I wouldn’t like to do it without the bike. I bet it was great on the tops in March. The weather was fantastic.
Cheers, Alen

Back up there in Sep can’t wait

My guidebook gives the Glen Feshie route as an alternative, but having been up that way as far as Sgor Gaoith I wouldn’t have thought it was anywhere as near scenic. But not having done the full route I can’t say for sure. There’s a lot of high flat ground so I would think route-finding would be a problem in bad weather.
Best of luck, Alen

It’s given me food for thought. I was planning to climb Cairn Toul and Angels Peak from Glen Feshie but this route looks more interesting. The loch route looks good too.
