Day two about to begin - which involved a shorter walk up Ben Alder and Beinn Bheoil. We managed to get back to base by 1.30 pm, pack up camp, cycle the 15 km out to Dalwhinnie where the car was parked, drive to Loch Arkaig (yes, the road was open), set up camp, have dinner, and get to bed for the next long day ahead.
Dalwhinnie was where we hid out in the snow on the day our boy made it with his group up to 18,000 feet at Everest Base Camp. We wanted to be up Ben Nevis but the blizzards made that impossible as it was early April, so Dalwhinnie has the highest distillery....that did the job. A highest of something to match him being up the highest mountain in the world!
Loving the light here, both dawn and the glow of the tent.
