Started out in fog today, but weather soon cleared :D Parked at Laggan Locks, crossed over from here:
Image

Then a quick cycle to the post at the start of the forestry track:
Image

This was fairly steep initially, but height gained quickly. Out of the trees:
Image

Back down:
Image

Bealach soon came into view. Gets a bit icy on the path further up:
Image

From the bealach, zig zag path up a grassy hill to Sron a'Choire Ghairbh:
Image

Cairn, looking over to windfarm:
Image

North, Kintail:
Image

West, towards Knoydart:
Image

Next hill, Meall na Teanga, looks a bit more interesting, Ben Nevis in background:
Image

Back down to the icy bealach:
Image

Path goes around Meall Dubh to Meall na Teanga:
Image

Snow was firm but deep footsteps had been left from when it was soft, so could use these as steps. Towards the top:
Image

Meall Coire Lochain:
Image

Loch Lochy, at the back of the queue when they were handing out loch names:
Image

Gulvain, Sgurr Thuilm direction:
Image

West:
Image

Kintail:
Image

Zig Zag path up Sron a'Choire Ghairbh:
Image

More pics on the way back to the bealach:
Image

Image

And back down to the trees:
Image

There were a couple of bikes left at the bealach now, so it's obviously possible - not for me though :lol: Back down the path then an easy coast back to the car :D

Hi Gman, looking to do those 2 hills soon and just wondering how much time you would save by talking the bike. Cheers.

It's about 4.5km on the bike from the locks & took 30min out + 20 min back, probably saved about an hour.
