Dale Tyler walked up Ben Macdui (Beinn MacDuibh) on July 11th, 2018 [from/via/route] Park in funicular car park & head out across the the hills to the right. Not sure what the route is called-very clearly marked path-obviously a main route [with] Sarah [weather] Complete contrast to Meall a' Bhuachaille the day before! Walked in the clouds all the way. No visibility & nice & wet from all the moisture in the air! - Peaceful summit-just me & Sarah sat in the clouds, although nearly missed the path coming back down! No ghostly old mountain men - thankfully! Snow bunting on top, grouse on the way up & down.
