Friday 15th August, My final Munro

On Friday we set off for Mull with plans to climb my final munro Ben More on Saturday before enjoying a few well earned drinks in the evening. The weather was horrible on the drive up to Oban and the outlook for the weekend was also very poor. However ferries and B&B’s were booked and it looked as though we would be getting very wet again.

We arrived in Craigmore late in the afternoon and the weather had improved considerably and the sun was shining. After a quick discussion we decided to change our plans and climb Ben More this evening. With only some Mars Bars and water as sustenance we headed off quickly up the hill. Our route took us up the NE ridge and over the top of A ‘Chioch before descending to the col for an easy scramble up to the summit of Ben More.









Just as we neared the summit the weather began to change after a few quick pictures of the views (we forgot to take my picture on summit) we headed down the path back to the cars. We managed to arrive in Tobermory and get a meal before they stopped serving food. We also managed a few celebration drinks as well.
