Ben Lawers

Arrived at the Ben Lawers visitor centre in a heavy downpour. The rain soon subsided to allow us to start our ascent. Saw several of the plants we hadn't seen since our last trip to the area. Had our lunch before the steepest part of the climb. Didn't quite make it to where we had hoped but did manage to go above 1000m. Decided to look at the cliffs at Creag an Lochan which are much more accessible, although it was extremely midgy. Had a coffee in a caravan park before driving home - where the bottle of beer was a refreshing end to the day.
