First ever munro and managed two. The route we took wasn't the best to hit Ben Lawers as we ended up going up Ben Ghlas first and the kids thought we'd done it.

After hitting the peak of Ghlas we had a bit of descent then back up Ben Lawers.

Stopped recording just before the summit of Ben Lawers (but my photos prove I was there with the trig point and cairn)

First two Munros of 2022 🤩 a sunny day at the bottom, but both summits were shrouded in cloud. Legs aching and self-doubt whispering after a long winter away from the hills. But we made it. Munro season is officially open!

Another Munro, Beinn Ghlas, passes by on the way up Ben Lawers (with apologies to the thousands who know all this! 🤓). Outstanding views on such a clear …
