Two more in the pocket

As the weather was going to be very much ok today we headed off to climb the two munros Tom a'  Choinich and Toll Creagach. Took us like 20 minutes on our mini bus to the parking area. Weather was really nice with  few sunny moments and just short spray rain showers.
The path led through a wood and then next to a river with a beautiful view of our two peaks as well as the ridge of Mam Sodhail and Carn Eige. After roughly more than 3 kilometers steep climb up Tom a' Choinich started. I was lagging a little behind  at first cause my legs felt a little tired supposedly because I didn't really sleep well. But halfway up before the path opened up to a broad ascend to the summit. Took up speed and ended up third at the cairn enjoying he view a lot until the rest of the group arrived.
The traverse to Toll Creagach was quite steep on he way down but broad and easy on the way up. Had a lot of fun getting my body into the hard working steady high pulse zone and talking to two of the group who werd with me.
The way down from the top was mostly  steep grassy slope before we hit the gravel road and the river again. After all just a very fine day with two of the easier munros.
