trailbreaking on beinn chabhair

Last Tuesday I caught the last ferry from Skye and headed down to the Drovers Inn at the head of Loch Lomond for a couple of nights B&B and an attempt on my second last Munro, Beinn Chabhair. When I’d booked, the weather forecast was fine but on the Tuesday the place was white and I was the only car and passenger on the ferry and it was a beautiful sunset over Eigg and Rhum with the mountains of Knoydart like black cutouts from the electric blue sky. A fantastic evening and a superb drive south, 2 hours 15 minutes from Mallaig to Inverarnan with hardly a car on the road the whole way. There wasn’t much snow on the road until Crianlarich, which looked like Chamonix. I’d phoned ahead to the Drovers to let them know I might be late and the lady at reception (who’s from Crianlarich) was very helpful and friendly. In the end it was a fast drive on clear roads with no traffic.
