Was going to watch the Wimbledon final on Sunday, but the weather looked good & Murray had no chance anyway so it was up at 4am and off to Kintail.
Parked opposite the campsite, there's limited parking further up at the outdoor centre though. Over a bridge then footpath signed falls of Glomach:
Nice path...
leads all the way to the bealach between Fhada and A'Ghlas-bheinn.
Over a burn then turn off at the cairn for Fhada.
Path leads to a corrie & continues up the wall.
Up on the ridge, stony here but then gets boggy so staying close to the crags on the left is probably the best bet.
A'Ghlas-bheinn:
Glen Affric.
Mullach Fraoch-coire & Ciste Dubh:
Brothers ridge:
Trig point & interesting descent ridge...which I'm not taking cos I'm bagging the 2. I'll be back.
Cloudy Sisters:
Gleann Gaorsaic & Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan:
Then back the same way, nice descent ridge again:
Up to the bealach.
Then there's a big cairn and a rough path branches off to A'Ghlas-bheinn.
Back down to Loch a'Bhealaich on the other side of the bealach.
False summits before the top.
Fhada descent ridge again. Which I didn't take.
Finally the true summit.
Fhada from the cairn.
Gleann Gaorsaic:
Stony path at the start of the descent.
Disappears in the bog.
Steep grass leads down to a bridge at the plantation.
Landrover track at the bridge, turn left.
Leads through a meadow witha derelict cottage. I continued on the landrover track, then realised I'd missed the cut off for the bridge.
So, back to the meadow & through the stile.
Over the bridge, then rejoined the path out. Met a few other walkers but they didn't know the tennis score. Back to Fhada:
Finally got a phone signal at Fort William & found out the news
