Apprehension

[Sunset tripper]

That looks a great route but tough also, especially with a full pack. Lightening the load as much as possible will help.
There are lots of options for you to make the walk easier if you need to, so it looks like a fine plan.

I was in that area a couple of weeks ago. I had a look inside Corryhully Bothy and it looked as normal with no locks or notices on the door. I'm not sure what the legal position or estate rules are during covid but it is not MBA so their rules don't apply.

The plan is to start early and take my time on the ascents. I have a tendency to power up hills at the beginning then run out of steam and have to keep taking breaks to catch my breath. Slow and steady wins the race I think with munro ascents.

It had crossed my mind to sleep in the bothy if it was unlocked and empty, but on further consideration, think I should follow the spirit of the COVID rules whatever the estate rules are and sleep in my tent. I have just had the jab but you don't know who else has been in a bothy and their hygiene habits, so it's best not to risk inadvertently picking up the virus and carry it through remote populations in the highlands.

Aye, fair enough, I would be happier in the tent myself, let us know how you get on.

Hopefully you’ll get this. We were up the 4 Munro’s you have planned for tomorrow yesterday and water is very hard to get between Sgurr Mor and Sgurr na Ciche.

The weather forecast looks really good for your trip, think you timed that just right! You’ve plenty options for making some days easier if you’re not feeling up to some ascents. Have a great trip

Thanks for all the replies. I'm back home now and needless to say I had grossly underestimated how hard my original planned route would be* (there is a reason the Cape Wrath trail takes the line of least gravitational resistance). I turned around near the summit of Sgurr nan Coireachan as I was getting more and more fatigued, the last climb up to the summit dome looked very intimidating, there is a three mile ridge with no water and another slog up to the second munro, and it was blazing sunshine with no shade. Went back to Fort William and had a rethink. It wasn't a total loss though, and I'll put up a walk report sometime this week.
