We started our walk along the access road to Auchengaich reservoir – in the rain!
The Allt Innse burn coming off Beinn Tharsuinn was swollen due to the recent rain and melting snow
After leaving the access road behind we were walking across very boggy ground towards Bealach an t-Saic
Further up the hill we encountered our first deep snow which had drifted into a gully on the east side of Maol an Fheidh
On the final 30 m of ascent we skirted a small snow field before reaching the summit of Beinn a’ Mhanaich
Our summit photograph. It was too cold, wet and windy to stay long
As we descended via The Strone we dropped below the cloud and had a view of Glen Fruin and Auchengaich Farm
