Clue - I'm in the process of walking between two Munros. Each is generally walked with at least one other Munro but both are less frequently walked as part of the same walk.

That's it jmarkb - taken from the top of the corbett/munro of the fisherfield 6, round about the time it was demoted.

Your go. :D

Yes, and that's the sea in the distance.
Photo taken when we're more than halfway around a very famous walk, more usually biked these days.

With your clue and little help from Geograph, is it Lochannan Lacasdail ? Coincidentally I'd considered using this track to cycle to An Cliseam earlier this year but ended up using the road instead.
