Beinn
A'Ghlo is a beautiful series of 3 munros: Carn Liath, Braigh
Coire Chruinn-Bhalgain and Carn nan Gabhar situated
just north-east of Blair Atholl off the A9. The complete
round trip is a wonderful outing.
Details:
There were 22 walkers who left Edinburgh about 7am for Blair
Atholl to climb 2 of the 3 Munro summits of Beinn A'Ghlo.
Ably organised and led by Derek Petrie, with a good smattering
of experienced walkers as well as four children aged 9-15,
here are some of their comments and photos.

A thoroughly enjoyable day. Had a brilliant time. David also
- he was pretty tired but had found it thoroughly rewarding.
Organisation was brilliant. Good pace - averaged across all
abilities. Safe. About the right length for the group. For
those who'd like longer/more strenuous there's always other
opportunities. These events are more about being part of a
larger group so obviously there is a compromise. You got it
right.
Felt brilliant about it on Sunday and in Rupert's talk about
the 'community'/cell groups etc, felt like I'd had a thoroughly
good 'connecting' the day before. Would love to do it again...Please
keep it up - a great day.

I thought it was fantastic. I quite liked the boggy bit actually.
I actually quite liked going up the second munro but only
because the wind was blowing at our backs but coming down
was fun. And after that most of it was great but the only
thing I can really say is that it was fantastic. Adam Hook

I enjoyed the day immensely ....I found that I struck gold
with every chat and as well as that got to know some regulars
at CCE .. a little better (as well some non regulars and some
non CCE’ers also)...The third aspect for me is the leadership
and choices made...good job well done. I liked the fact that
a) you’d reckied it the week before b) you called the
route back over the top – which despite the deteriorating
weather I think saved us time and boggy effort c) you made
sure that the last person was a strong experienced walker..Finally
many thanks to you for being willing to lead it and to the
team who are willing to lead days out generally.

thought the trip went tremendously well and I thoroughly enjoyed
it. I think the level of information and organisation was
very appropriate, and would be difficult to improve upon.

I have to say it was very well organised and I can't think
of it being done any better from my point of view, so ta!
It was just what I needed - good chance to catch up with some
lovely folk and do it slowly - also fantastic to be out in
the hills again in winter - mountains with their make-up on
are just lovely!
