The track along the Lairaig Ghru is not great, especially after the traverse and in the heat. I really wanted to get back to the fork in the road. Stopped along the way to cool off the feet and admire the view.
- One last look back.
Got back to the Sugarbowl Carpark at 4:15pm. 5 hour walk from the Devils Point. 11:15 hours in total and 4 more in the bag.
Great walk on a clear day. Well deserved beer when I got home.
