Participants: Neil and Ben
Where: Meall Mor (Rannoch Moor), 492m/1615', sub-2k Marilyn, Map 50, NN 304471.
I had to take advantage of the glorious weather this week and get out on the hills. West was to be best so I headed to Strontian to climb a wanted sub-2k in Morvern. On the way up, I stopped off to climb Meall Mor, which demonstrates the truth of the phrase "maximum reward for minimal effort." I had climbed it before but these were easily the best conditions that I had had. It's well worth stopping to do if you're travelling the A82 and have an hour to spare.
I think that this is the best time of year, there is still some snow on the hills and you have a good chance of sharp visibility. These were the views today:
The hills of the Blackmount.....

Wonderful! Then it was on through Glencoe.....
