Blair Atholl Weekend

(16.10.15) Blair Atholl – Allt Scheicheachan Bothy, 9.5km.2hrs,55min

(17.10.15) Bothy – Beinn Dearg – Blair Atholl 21km, 5hrs,31min.

 Headed up on the Friday evening with Tam. After buying booze in Pitlochry, suited and booted we were off up the landrover track North of Blair climbing out of Ben Banvie. Overtook by a couple o guys on bikes. Followed the track as it winds above the eastern side of the Allt an t-Seaphail, over a low bealach at 514 metres. Got into the bothy to find it warm. A guy from manc and his Chilean girlfriend. The 2 lads from Fife and another guy from Cumbernauld. A good night was had in the bothy with beer, wine, whiskey, music and banter.

The next day Tam wasn’t up for an ascent of Beinn Dearg. After a frosty morning I headed up myself up the old stalkers path NE to the summit of Binn Dearg. Had lunch and admired the views before returning the same way to the bothy. Packed up my stuff & we headed S back to Blair Atholl. Dry and sunny day. Clouded over later
