Carn Mairg Group of Munros
Just after 5am I arrived in the small car park at Invervar, in Glen Lyon, reached from the B846 at Coshieville, and not surprisingly the car park was empty. I set off in semi-darkness across the road to what on my previous visit in 2009 was the start for the[…]
Satter Hill and Knock Saul
