Is that down to Brig O Turk area, Milton Glen from up on shoulder of Ledi / Mullach Buidhe to Stuc Odhar?
(A decade since I have been up there, in the dark, but the woodland and retreat fits...)

When you have apprentices at work taking their Summer ML, any local and unlikely hill will do for night nav practice!

The loch in the foreground is part of a hydro scheme and we're just round the corner from an iconic Island residence.

Took a while. Silly thing is, I thought the rock looked right for Harris days ago, but didn't suss it out.


This corrie with a small, cold, loch, that we've just climbed out the top of? Name of the lochan, as the corrie is not named separately.

Clue - I am on a solitary munro - however, it is sometimes combined with another (by people fitter than me)
