Meall Chuaich - 951m (3120ft)

November 2006 and April 2008
The first time we tried to hike the munro Meall Chuaich, near Dalwhinne, there was snow on the ground, getting deeper as we gained altitude. We didn't make it to the top, due to lack of daylight hours and my tired legs after trudging through knee-high snow! The scenery looked very beautiful though, cloaked in white.






Our second attempt at Meall Chuaich was more successful. The snow was above 900m, which made walking a lot easier for most of the hike than the previous attempt.

Visibility was excellent on that day, with clear views of the Cairngorms.

Autumn in the Ochils Today

The morning started gloriously, not a cloud in the sky, but in just few hours it changed to a cloudy sky and heavy rain!

I still managed to capture some of the autumnal colours in the Ochils today, before the rain hit, but just a shame the sun didn't stay out just a little bit longer to further enhance the colours.
