Weather: Cloud on tops, mainly clear otherwise. W wind, warm, tho' cold on top. Clouds cleared on descent, as usual!
Route: From bridge over Loch Quoich spur
Company: Self
Wildlife: Dotterel, hinds, frog at 3000', aggressive ptarmigan
Notes: Great stalkers path, half point off the big 5 because of cloud on tops. But a potentially stunning walk. Nearly savaged by charging ptarmigan presumably protecting her nest. Came within 3' of me, snarling and snapping away! Would do this walk again on a clearer day for views to S Shiel ridge and Knoydart. No. 50!
