Meall Ghaordie

This hill was listed in our Munro guide ("The Munros", by Cameron McNeish) as a "less interesting" one. Starting at about 9.15am, It was a bit of a relentless ascent, fairly uneventful and ever upwards, but it was great fun! We started at the parking spot just past the bridge on the Tullich/Power Station access road just after Killin, and headed up the ridge. There was a reasonable sprinkling of snow from about 750m upwards, getting more significant as we neared the top and this made for some good views of other hills, including a number of other Team hills: Meall nan Tarmachan, Sgaith Chuil and Ben Challum. The weather was good too - the air was cold, but most of the walk was in blue skies and as we're not into deep winter yet, there was still some warmth left in the Sun! We hit the top at 12pm, and were down by 1pm. A short hillwalk, but a good start to the season!
