2 Sgurrs from Loch Arkaig

[Johnny Corbett]

We were a bit like the walking wounded this morning as we set off for this walk after yesterdays long day. Jimmy took a bad knock to his knee the previous, i had a wee strained ankle and Mo not wanting to be left out complained of a sore knee as well. We set off along the same track as yesterday turning right just before Glendessary Lodge where they have shooting practice. We missed the start of the main path but i can confirm it is just after the first bridge and goes through the ferns. We eventually got on it a wee bit further up. This path takes you up and over the col and carries onto Kinbreack. We left it just after its highpoint to make our way down to the river before climbing the steep slopes to the ridge at Braigh a Choire Bhuidhe. Mo was struggling with her knee at this point and whinging away while Jimmy and i just got on with it. Nothing to do with the amount of Vodka you drank the previous night eh Mo? So once on the ridge Mo decided to give the Corbett a miss so Jimmy and i left the rucksacks with Mo and carried onto the Corbett which was an easy walk from the ridge. We returned to Mo, had a bite to eat then headed to the Munro. The Munro was also fairly easy from this point. From the summit we returned to the ridge, dropped down to the river and then picked up the path back to the start.
