Above Loch Kander
It's been a tough 1.5 hour climb to this point so I'm taking my time to get my breath back above the stunning Loch Kander before continuing on to reach the summits of Tom Buidhe and Tolmount, which can be seen in the distance to the right.
Tom Buidhe (pronounced Towm Boo-ee-ya) and translates as 'The Yellow Hill', is my 20th Munro and stands at 957 meters (3139 feet). Tolmount bizarrely translates from Gaelic as 'Uncertain', but it is my 21st Munro, and stands at 958 meters (3143 feet). The day sees me covering 18 miles by bike & hike so what I AM certain of is, it's going to be epic and it's going to hurt.
