Beinn a' Chochuill and Beinn Eunaich

A last minute plan emerged on Saturday night. Meet up with Ruth and Laura on their back from Craggy island triathlon and bag some munros. Much discussion on what would be interesting but not too hard for sore legs we settled on Beinn Eunaich and Beinn Chochuill.
Caroline Russell and I left Edinburgh first thing after a cheeky pit stop in Real Food Café arrived in time to wait for the triathletes. About 10 mins in we stopped for our first snack stop.


 On the way up the road fb told us it was Ruth’s birthday, so we went bought a slide of birthday cake for the summit. 


Naturally we took a team selfie on the summit…


The clouds cleared a tiny bit on the bealach to show how far we’d come, The way back down was pretty steep and sore legs from triathaloning made us slightly slower than the book suggested. 


Then on the way back down we passed through the gauntlet of the terror-cows. 
We survived.
Just.


Soon we were back on the road for another pitstop at real food cafe for dinner (Yum!)
A great day out and two new munros in the bag!
