- The hills from the cottages
Once you leave the track the path is one of the boggiest I’ve been on, but a straight forward climb with great views up & down the A9. The flat plateau of the two munro’s on the other side of the road were shrouded in cloud, but Meall Chuaich up the road was also cloud free.
- Bog Fest!!
- Meall Chuaich
Past the stone column & the summit was reached very quickly. At said stone column my friend Harry realised he had dropped his camera.
Asked a guy on his way down to keep an eye out, having decided to push on a re ascend to look for the camera on the way back to the car.
- Summit cairn
Good views all around from the summit & then a short walk to the bealach at 739m.
- Summit Geal Charn
- The ridge of A' Mharconaich
- Alder range
- From the bealach back up to geal Charn
Up onto the ridge of A’ Mharconaich & a lovely stroll to the summit.
- Path to A' Mharconaich
- Millie eyes up a grouse
- Looking down the allt coire fhar to the A9
- Summit A' Mharconaich
Follow the line of the ridge all the way down & again the path becomes very boggy.

We cut of & headed left to regain the track to start our camera hunt. Having to cross the river. I made a complete arse of using the stepping stones & landed calf deep in the water, but at least it cleaned my boots & gaiters.
- As the sun goes down
With the obvious exception of the lost camera a great wee walk.
Oh sorry about losing your camera....And falling.
