It was a great and very busy day. We climbed 2 Grahams and 1 Sub2000 with the kids in one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland. I was expecting a bit better weather, but I can not complain. It was great.
1. Ben More Coigach and Sgùrr an Fhìdhleir from CulnacraigAt the end we said to each other, what a great hike!

Steep ascent, but not that steep. A bit of scrambling, but not tricky. Amazing narrow airy sandstone ridge with stunning views. Light breeze, only a few midges. In one word, wonderful.
We followed the WH route
Ben Mór Coigach and Sgùrr an Fhìdhleir. It was a mix of paths and pathless walking. The ground was dry after a few sunny days, no bogs, just a few slightly wet areas. Ben More Coigach was covered in mist in the morning, which was good as we could not see the steep climb ahead, so everyone was so much calmer

.
Map of our route:Elevation profile of our route:We parked in small car park near Culnacraig. There is space for 6-7 cars. After 10 o'clock the car park was full (sunny saturday) and a few other cars were parked along the road. But almost all hiker only climbed Sgùrr an Fhìdhleir:
We walked down the road to Culnacraig and then followed a deer fence to the left of the first house...:
...to its highest point (a fence corner). There is a sheep path alongside the fence, a bit boggy in places. From there we headed east (red arrow) pathless towards the point where the Allt nan Coisiche changes direction as it flows out of the ravine:
The ravine and our route up. A faint path leads along the edge of the ravine to the right of the burn:
Crossing the Allt nan Coisiche:
A short distance before the end of the path along the edge of the ravine we left it and headed pathless east-southeast, towards a craggy hill:
We more or less followed the WH route up a steep craggy section, but I would say, that there are several routes up. It is very steep, therefore we proceeded with caution:

We continued along the ridge towards Speicein nan Garbh-choireachan:
No one wanted to climb over Speicein nan Garbh-choireachan, so we took a bypass path on the left side:
Beyond Speicein nan Garbh-choireachan. Look at that!:

We reached the top of Ben More Coigach in 4 hours.

Looking NNE - Sgùrr an Fhìdhleir on the left, Beinn an Eoin in the middle in the front, Cùl Beag on the right. The red line is our route to Sgùrr an Fhìdhleir:
We spent about 45 minutes at the top having lunch and enjoying the views. From the top we continued mostly pathless towards Sgùrr an Fhìdhleir to the saddle and then up along the red line in the photo above.

From Sgùrr an Fhìdhleir we walked down on its shoulder. First pathless, later on a good path.

2. Meall an Fheadain from PolbainIt was a very easy walk, although the kids were not really keen on the third hill after conquering the previous 2 Grahams and spending 8.5 hours on Ben More Coigach. I told them that because of such a small hill I had no intention of coming here again on that horrible road from Drumrunia, so they had no choice. I motivated them with Kinder surprise eggs

. Fortunately, a path leads all the way up.

A good path leads to the top of Meall an Fheadain:

It was too cloudy

to take more photos, so we soon headed down to the car. But I think it could be a fine viewpoint in good weather.
