Meall Garbh (Loch Tay)

Had a weekday off and was looking for a hillwalk to do, something nearby so I could be back in Edinburgh sharpish. I've done Ben Lawers before but haven't done the whole ridge, and didn't fancy doing the whole ridge - too long if doing a circle, and I'm a bit bored with the route up Ben Lawers, done it too many times. So instead I decided to go up Meall Greigh from the North, starting at Inverar.

Went with someone from Edinburgh Hillwalkers, was a good walk. Almost entirely off-trail and a good opportunity for navigation practice. Going up is easy than going down, it is less ambiguous. We made it back in good time though. It was, I think, the wettest walk I've ever done. A combination of a lot of rain and perhaps also my equiptment getting old? By the end, my boots were soaked through (puddles on the inside) and more concerning, my trousers were completely soaked even though I was in full waterproofs plus gaiters. Don't know what went wrong, will need to investigate my waterproofs in the shower sometime. Gave the boots a snowseal coating when I got back, hopefully that will sort them out.
