To achieve my next goal, I had to cross a boggy area, which I dubbed 'The Dead Marshes'. Ewan liked that. On the edge of the lower area the cairn I stood next to in the earlier photographs can just be seen.
From there it was a short jaunt to the summit.
The OS trig point, overlooking Dalwhinnie. 590 meters above sea level.
Another photo for my groundcover collection.
Looking back over my route, towards Newtonmore and Kingussie, with a loop of the river Spey just visible on the left and Loch Etteridge on the right.
Someday, when I'm really, really rich, I'll buy Cluny Castle and live there like a laird, wrapping myself in yards of maclean tartan, and all the locals will despise me. Good times! At least I'm not English...
