Carn Dearg & Glenbuck bothy

In preparation for a very busy week at work, I had the night off from child-rearing duties and so headed for the hills. I was away by 1445 and got up to Invergarry for dinner at 1730, where I enjoyed a lovely feed before the short drive to Bridge of Oich. From here, I headed over the Caledonian canal and then past the farm before the almighty steep path up overlooking Glen Buck. Ben Tee looked lovely in the evening light.

Once up on to the ridge, it was a very easy meander along the landcover track, all the way to the bothy. I dropped my pack and then immediately set off for Carn Dearg, which was approximately 2 miles SE. Getting to the hill wasn't easy as there were many bogs and hags to contend with. However, at 2100, I eventually summited after some fine sunbursts through the clouds across to the West. The flag moved in temporarily so I didn't hang about and began the descent quickly. I was back at the bothy for 2140, whereupon I set up a fire, opened a beer, and relaxed until 2330. All on my own. A fine way to spend an evening with another Corbett/bothy experience in the bag.
