widoki z parkingu  /  view from the car park to      beinn ghlas

uwaga -w tej okolicy byly 2 parkingi -jeden dedykowany dla ben lawers i nieco dalej dla tarmachan'a. teraz jest jeden, dosc duzy parking. zaraz za zjazdem do niego 'glowna droga' prowadzaca w strone glen lyon jest zamknieta na czas zimy

please note - there used to be 2 car parks in the area, one dedicated for ben lawers and 200yr further one for meall nan tarmachan. nowadays there is only one, good sized car park. the road going to glen lyon is closed just at the gate to the car park. the road is closed for winter.

THE TARMACHAN RIDGE

przejscie grania tarmachan, zaliczajac po drodze jednego munrosa -meall nan tarmachan oraz dwa munrosowe szczyty - meall garbh i beinn an eachan. bardzo udany dzien, pogoda jak najbardziej dopisala, moze tylko poza lodowatym wiatrem ktory sukcesywnie zwiewal nas ze sciezki i sprawil ze w ogole nie czulysmy jak prazy slonce... a potem okazalo sie ze mamy nieco spalone buzie :)

meall nam tarmachan chodzil za mna juz jakis czas, a dokladnie od dnia wejscie na ben lawers'a. od tamtej strony wyglada bardzo zachecajaco i przepysznie :) no to sie doczekal :)

the tarmachan ridge - munro: meall nan tarmachan and two munro summits: meall garbh and beinn an eachan.

really nice day, great weather, maybe except the wind that was icy cold and trying to blow us off the track.. and that was the reason why we didn't realise that the sun was quite strong and our faces burnt..

first i saw meall nan tarmachan when we were climbing ben lawers last year, the mountain looked great, yummy.. i had to go there finally ;)
