Hello,
I enjoyed reading of your journey and looking at the images. Is there not still a small apendage, a reconstruct, still available at Gledie Lodge? Is the rather beaten-up shed thing after the Eidart crossing still standing up? Without wishing to be pedantic....the image labelled Carn Ban Mor is probably the unnamed top between Fionnar Choire and C. Garbhlach....But I guess that the former Munro Meall Dubhag and the surrounds are all part of Carn Ban Mor now anyway? :(

"Is there not still a small apendage, a reconstruct, still available at Gledie Lodge"
Its in a bad state, still has a roof and walls (with gaps) but no door (or at least it was ajar, with a drift of snow inside) and lots of rubbish on the floor.

"Is the rather beaten-up shed thing after the Eidart crossing still standing up?"
Don't recall seeing it?
