Temperature Inversion over the Lairig Ghru from Ben MacDui, 12 Dec 2009



12:38 on Saturday 12th December 2009. Fortunately the cloud top, which tracked my progress up Sron Riach stopped at that level, so on arrival on Ben MacDui there was a splendid view. This stitched image was taken about 200m west of the summit cairn, where the view into the Lairig Ghru would normally open up. The visibility to the west and north was superb. Ben Nevis (just right of Angel's Peak) was easily visible and on close inspection even Ben Hope 159km away to the north north-west was obvious. A detailed, labelled view from the summit cairn can be found here.
