Up Glen Callater to Callater Lodge.

Callater Lodge (CP28) along teak then up to corrie to Loch Kander (CP31), steep climb out (met DK and had a catch up) over to Tolmount (CP34), white hares galore, cut across below Knaps of Fafernie and up Cairn of Gowal (CP39), then along ridge - avoiding tops as much as possible :-) to pick up track to The Stuic (CP38). Descent to col and descending traverse (lots of lovely snow patches) to col NW of Carn an Sagairt Mor then short steep climb to ridge, quick splash (too shallow for a proper dip in pool) and along to Meall an t-Slugain (CP27) then lovely line back to Lodge 0 lots of snow and some lovely soft smooth springy marshes.
Mega day out 4-30 total run time but a few stops. Stunning day - one of the best ever, at my own pace and never felt hurried or stressed. Weather superb - blue skies all day, feel totally frazzled by sun and wind!
One for the ages :-))))

while back down, hardly pedalling! Could be level 1?
