Lunch and a View

After all that climbing of Beinn Mheadhoin, it's time to partake of lunch with this amazing view across the Glen of Cairn Gorm, the mountain that gives the entire Cairngorm range its name. With very little wind, it's a marvelous place to spend some time and get ones breath back.

 

Beinn Mheadhoin (pronounced Bane Vee-arrn) meaning 'The Middle Hill' stands at 1182 meters (3878 feet) and is my 14th Munro. The summit plateau is strewn with some spectacular granite rocky tors and lies at the remote heart of the Cairngorms. The cycle in up Glen Derry was 6.7 miles, with a further 3.7 hike to reach the summit. With the return, the days sees me covering 21 miles Bike & Hike.
