Although I was generally thankful for the main walk description I take issue with two points. Firstly - at the start of stage 2 the path turns level RIGHT for 150m before turning up left. Before turning left if you reach an annoying steep drop to a stream you’ve gone level too far.
Secondly - I think Sàileag is underplayed. After the initial steep climb I found it revealed to be quite an impressive summit, not as big as the others but when you’re on your way up it is not ‘insignificant’. The drop on the other side may be technically on the ‘short’ side but the long vista down over two tricky bumps and the sweeping rise to the next Munro is exciting.
Incidentally this next Munro has a fun (non-handsfree) finish.
