Got up to Incheril about half 11 and slept in the car.
Was walking at 0630.

Good track and path all the way to lochan Fhada.
Passed 2 others who were walking out, they were the only ones I spoke to until I reached the summit of Beinn Tarsuinn.
Filled my water bottles by a wee burn just by the gravelly sandy bit at the side of the lochan and my bergan decided it wanted to go for a swim. Retrieved that before it got too soaked :shock:
Pitched the tent- so relieved to get that off my back, put the sleeping bag jetboil, and spare food inside. That was a weight off I tell yee.

There's a faint path almost all the way to the beallach.

Approach in the beallach and Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair in view - and clear

I cut off before this and headed up to Beinn Tarsuinn and picked up another wee path leading to the summit.
I'll take these views today and it was great being up here.anither lad came up who kindly took a photo.

And back down and skirted round on the good path leading up and through a few creags to reach the scree.

The impressive looking Munro top of Sgurr Dubh

Kinda stay on the lighter scree and it goes up over over some boulders and up to the summit.

The impressive peak of Sgùrr an Tuill Bhain at the end of Sliochs ridge above lochan Fhada

Should I stay or should I go.
I wanted to get on maoile lunndaith this weekend as well so, the tent got packed away and I walked out again

Nice view over to torridon on the walk back out

If you want to split fisherfield up then this is a good way for 2 of them
Cheers

Great report - looks like a good way to go to split these up - something I'll definitely consider if I ever do this lot again.

Was nice to meet you up on Beinn Tarsuinn!

I can see me going in this way again and splitting them up again- the daughter started on the hills, so she might drag me back to Fisherfield ( not that I won't be back- as the Corbett's in there will get done as well at some point)
Safe walking buddy

Suspect I'll end up splitting them up, doing them all in one trip would take too much planning for me, I'm better seeing where the weather is looking best when I have a day off and just going with little or no notice! Useful to see these 2 are do-able in a day, cheers.
