The planned one day route took two days, and I had to come off the ridge half way along to collect water from a stream. Didn't fancy drinking it straight off, complete with dirt and sediment, so ...

I totally failed in this plan; see next walk report

I'm always wary of them, but I've only really had two diving-over-fence incidents, and both were around this time of year when the groups of males are getting a bit more assertive and frisky just before they go off to be made into nice beef burgers. Conventional wisdom is to let dogs off the lead if...

our_route.gpx The maps don't show a path going up the south ridge of Bla Bheinn so I was glad to find one and followed it up pretty easily.
