Gairich to Sgurr na Ciche from Loch Arkaig

[Johnny Corbett]

You're some man. Another cracking report and super effort doing it all in one day.

[dooterbang]

Feeling tired near the end...that 3 week respite must have floored you

That's a belter of a route and very impressive to do in one day driving to and from Glasgow

I'm now wishing I'd added Gairich and Sgorr Mor when doing the other 3 but I was walking with mountainthyme and she's very slow

Brilliant stuff, just love these epic routes.

Cheers.

You must have worn a pair of boots out for this one! Looks amazing though, well done!
You do realise you're a bad influence on the weaselmaster though and I have to walk with him

[bowzi]

On up to Garbh Chioch Mhor. Met another walker from WH site who told me that Andy Murray had won the first set.

That would have been me!

Hello again!

Albeit my walk was considerably shorter it was still tough having to push my bike for so much of the route....I estimate around 6 - 8 km. All in I was 30.1km, 1954m for my round of the Sgurr na Ciche trio...according to my Satmap.

Monster route having Gairich, Sgurr Mor and Sgurr an Fhurain.

Cheers
Mark

oh my that is some walk! we will be taking at least two days for this! Complete respect due to you! your photos are fantastic as always.

[haringit]

Wow! Garbh Chioch Mhor on its own is no walk in the park and the two bumps beyond Sgurr Mor at a +100ms each to contend with as well! Well done!

[Alan S]

Excellent RH, well done mate

[Graeme D]

Aye aye, summer must be in full swing right enough if rockhopper is back out there laying down 17 hour routes like this! Awesome effort man - my knees have gone weak just thinking about doing that in these conditions!

[quoman]

Top report again RH not much i can say that hasn't been said

[rockhopper]

Thanks everyone for your comments

You must have worn a pair of boots out for this one! :

nearly - this was the first day with my resoled Meindls - cracking job via Cotswold !

...it was still tough having to push my bike for so much of the route....

nice meeting you Mark - certainly a tough track to cycle

[wilkiemurray]

Enjoyed your report and great photos too - that's one long route!! Good blooming effort

[past my sell by date]

You make my trip (posted yesterday) look really quite short though once you get out of the bog and up on to the ridges the going is pretty good. But including Gairich - now that's masochism

[spiderwebb]

Wow, massive walk there RH. I did your westerly ones and added Sgurr Mor, and after determined that Sgurr Mor was a hill too far Jeez.
Well done terrific effort

[ancancha]

A very long walk
Nice photos of the clouds hovering just below summit level

Yikes! Had to do a double take on that itinerary Just the westerly three were a big enough day for me! Great report and superb photos rockhopper. Brilliant stuff This area is proving quite popular among WH'ers just lately!
