Early Start to Killin
Meall Ghaordaidh (Pronounced myowl jirdee)
3409 Ft . Sunday 15th August
With plans for the afternoon the best option for this walk was to set out early (rather than postpone).
Kathy and I got up 4.10am, DC arrived at Powmill 5.10am, roadworks on the Glendevon meant that we had to detour to get to Crieff to meet Robert and Elaine at 6.10am.
Got to Killin for around 7.00am and were ready to hit the hill by 7.10am.
The (almost) hourly photos below show our progress.
The benefit of starting early was that we had the hill to ourselves and it is a great feeling when walkers just starting out as you return comment how impressed they are that you have already bagged the Munro and it’s not even lunchtime.
