The Grahams of Amulree

[Ian Bayne]

Decided to come back here after last weeks clag to see what its like in a braw day and I wasnt disappointed. The gang scattered to the 4 winds so me and the jake set off from the disused hotel at 0715 and set off back along the road to Girron . The sun was up T shirt weather ( is this the summer walk back to norm next week ) .
This walk is straight forward once past the cottage at Girron and the glen opens up you can see both targets at the top with the track running up the middle . Got to the gate and opted to do Meall Reamhar first . Over the rickety bridge jake in the water , cool down time, then headed up to the cairn . Jake in hunting mode chasing mountain hares no chance . Got to the cairn at 0845 hrs nice and warm clear skies visibility excellent . Stopped here for about 20min then headed to Meall nan Caorach just follow the fence line it goes down to the road then up simple .
On the way up to Caorach met 3 older walkers they talked about having done all the munros corbetts grahams and donalds and this was them doing the merry marilyns . But when I said these were grahams as per WH one of them got shirty and they left Can someone please explain. Got to the trig at 1000hrs stayed for about 10min view spoilled by Alex Salmonds idea of how the wilds should look like . Went over Creag Ghorm and a beeline down to the track and then back along the road got to the hotel at 1145 hrs . The plan then was to do Meall Dearg but driving up the 826 parking spaces very few and they were full dash this good weather. Then settled for the drive to Dunkeld stopped for a bite to eat and a bud in a layby then home . A good day out looking forward to to meeting up with the gang next weekend for the Kintail escapades .
