Date: 19th February 2022

Due to the ground conditions – deep drifting snow, we did not reach the summit of Beinn Bhreac but turned back after lunch at Bealach na h-Imriche

We set off following the Ledard Burn up Glen Ledard

 

Our path was muddy but relatively free of snow

 

As we climbed, we encountered more snow

 

Despite the recent rain and snow melt the burn was not difficult to cross

 

The snow had drifted into gullies and could be surprisingly deep

 

Bealach na h-Imriche where we had lunch and decided not to ascend Beinn Bhreac

 

The view north from our lunch stop: Across Loch Katrine to Stob Binnein

 

The hill we had hoped to climb – Beinn Bhreac

 

After lunch we turned round and headed back to Ledard Farm
