This was a fantastic afternoons walking which was also our first big summit reach so bound to be extra special for that too. The weather was very kind to us. Virtually no wind on the whole ascent, and nice warm sunshine (totally unexpected for Scotland in March) The views from both sides were breath-taking as could see snow-capped mountains for miles and miles. The climb and descent of Ben Ledi was a very memorable and enjoyable day. Can't wait to get out and onto the next big one.

Very good walk - Stank Glen return adds a lots of great views to an otherwise ok-ish walk. Good 3-4hr hike for a half day.
