Walked up from SE, parking at mapped covered reservoirs. Some trods on lower slopes, nothing much higher up, just rough grassy tussocks. Pillar has some minor chipping to top edges; centre cap missing, tube sealed with asphalt plug; rear sight hole open. Cloud down, no views today.

Consecutive FB number time, after S9728 here is 9727. A gob-smacking view of Ben Nevis on a glorious sunny evening. Glorious hill, back to the cottage in time for a sunset over Rum, pine marten running across the road.

Quite an improvement in the weather from earlier on. Interesting to look down at Fort William from this side.

Ok it was me who fell in the bog and very cold it was too! Great views up here but very snowy today which made it very hard going!

Walked over from the forest track in very deep snow. The snow covered the bogs which meant one of our group found it and ended up in the bog up to her chest. Not the best of days to do that. The views of the Ben are stunning from here.

Too hot for a cold-blooded creature as myself. Must have been nudging 30° today. Wanted to lie by Inverlochy or down Glen Nevis with plenty water n ice-cream and a good book. Forced myself up here first, worth the effort. Scores highly because it's a perfect example of why to visit trigs (well pillars mostly). A tremendous spot that I would never visited otherwise.
