Tough Terrain

Leaving the summit of Tolmount I once again lose the paths, and have to navigate across this marshy and boggy terrain (fortunately fairly dry after little rain). It's going to tak over an hour to regain the bike and I'm already tired ... *deep breath

 

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.
