25th April 2011 - Creag a' Chliabhain near Loch Ness to Forfar

a crossing of the monadh liath and the cairngorms...

"do you know any take offs down the farr valley?"
"no"
"going there would put us upwind of the best area according to RASP"
"big crossing to aviemore to start... could be tricky"
"with a forecast this good I think we should take our brains out and just go for it"
"what about creag a' chliabhain near errogie?"
"could be a bit windy"
"let's go for a look anyway"
