After Work Wander up Beinn Chabhair...

Dougal below the summit...
Last month (6th July 2018) myself and Dougal managed to escaped work and headed for the hills. We decided to climb the Munro of Beinn Chabhair. We decided on this Munro as it was one that neither of us had climbed and it was within close proximity of work.

We parked up at the layby and headed up the land rover track alongside the Allt a' Chuillin. Once the land rover track had run out we headed up the steep North-East slopes to eventually reach the wide ridge and path which ascends up the other side of the mountain from Bheinn Ghlas. This was a welcome relief after the slog up the slopes and we finally reached the 933 metre summit and were rewarded with extensive views in all directions. Due to the sun being out, humidity being high and the watch reading the back of eight we decided to descend. We made quick progress back down the slopes and eventually reached the car roughly four hours after we set off and with another Munro in the bag.
