This was the club's July meet and we were all heading to either Ratagan YH or the Shielbridge Campsite at the back of the garage at the bottom of Glen Shiel. After a Friday night discussion over a few beers the largest group were to be heading off to do the South Shiel Ridge and others off to Skye, one to do three Grahams taking the ferry over. This left me with a choice of doing the SSR again a year to the day I last did it or heading off on my own to do some hills on the North side. Decision made I headed on up past the Clunie Hotel to the large parking area beyond on the North side of the road. Fit and ready to go by 0815hrs I left the car and headed East along the road until I reached a double metal gate. Now normally near this area has been a large forestry plantation but this has been cut down and the lower sloes of my first hill a corbett Am Bathach
