Well at last the, the summer's day we've been waiting for!
Myself and John (The Colonel), went to Glen Lochay near Killin to "bag" Creag Mhor, 1047m, making his total so far, 215!
After the first false summit comes the real summit and the first real hint of any recognisable path. Various Munro books describe Creag Mhor as having steep, grassy slopes, which it certainly does! Add some unconsolidated wet snow and it becomes hard work. Any "scrambly" options between various small rocky outcrops were no good as there was plenty of ice around. I would imagine early season climber would've been out in force further north if conditions here were anything to go by.
Great views of Ben More and Stob Binnein. As soon as they get more consolidated snow, they will make a great training slog!

Enjoying a cup of tea, with Ben Nevis to the right in the far distance (I think?).
