Cycled in from the Laggan road (18 km and 320m of ascent) with blue skies. Corrour Lodge seemed like a holiday park with lovely wild flowers everywhere. Sunny and windy so we walked up beside Loch Ossian first, but never found the path through the woods. After the trees we turned uphill - quite a slog through heather till we made it to the ridge - and I lost a bit of walking pole. The tops just about managed to stay clear of cloud. The descent was lovely - wild flowers and sunshine, and a handy track back through the forest to within 100m of our bikes!
