2 days backpacking east Loch shiel hills 4corbetts 3 grahams(Glas Bheinn 636m,Meall nan Damh 723m,Stob Muick Bheathan 721m,Carn na Nathrach 786m, Druim Tarsuinn 770m,Sgurr Ghiubhsachain 849m, Sgorr Craobh a’Chaoainn 775m) . Total 38k 3740m ascent 16 hours.

Drove up Friday night after work to Callop forest car park NM92385 79231 settled for the night.

28th May . Started from the car park at 8am, Walking up the 2 grahams Glas Bheinn 636m,Meall nan Damh 723m, dropped straight south down to Cona Glen, had to deboots to cross the river which was actually refreshing for the feet. climbed straight up to Stob Muick Bheathan 721m, down to Gleann an Lochain Duibh, cross the river (no need deboots this time), straight up Carn na Nathrach 786m. descent from here is a bit tricky over very steep rocky ground. again made a mistake to headed down to the trees and trying to have a short cut but ended up the trees gaps getting narrower and lower that i came out eventually covered with barks and branches and ticks, had to have a bath in the river before heading up to Druim Tarsuinn, that wasted about 40 minutes. camped just above bealach an Sgriodain at 670m. ( I should have sticked to my plotted route to go down north via the wee gully and cross the river at the west end of lochan Dubh and climb up to bealach a’ Charrain and camp.)
