Ben Eunaich

Am getting a bit out of shape, haven't really done much walking for quite a while. And all the snow on the hills seemed to have melted, according to the Cairngom mountain webcam. But regardless, it was time to walk, so Ben Eunaich was chosen and off I went. Turned out pretty cloudy/misty from the ground all the way to the top of the hill, navigating entirely with the compass. Approaching from the south there were only a few slivers of snow near the top, but once at the top, the North-East facing corrie had a fair amount of snow cornicing. Apart from that, it was all pretty low visibility and uneventful, apart from the manic sheep which kept looming out of the mist high on the hill, and the highland cows which guarded the approach road on the way up and down.
