Comfy digs in Cannich;

Whilst in the area i fancied doing the Mullardoch Munro's but really couldn't be bothered with the hike along the lochside thankfully Angus the boatman phoned on Tuesday night to confirm a space on his boat so it was on.
The boat set off at 9 with 3 other guys who were heading to the other side of the loch to climb Beinn Findlay,Mam Sodhail and Carn Eighe,when the boat dropped me off i felt very lonely

Here's the pics from the day;

Abandoned;

From where i was dumped it's up the track ,then i crossed the first bridge to hop and jump over a boggy haggy section to the start of the ridge up Meall a Chaisg,it wasn't actually as bad as i expected;

Herd;

A look to Beinn Fhionnlaidh,steep looking from this side;

The peat hagged area;

Reached the trig on An Socach,still in clag;

It's a fair drop down the the Bealach na Bholla;

Started to get some decnt views now to the North;
Loch Calavie with An Ruadh Stac and Maol Chean Dearg in the distance and Sheasgaich and Lurg Mhor closest;

Cheesecake and LM;

An Ruadh Stac and Maol Chean zoomed;

The walk to An Riabhachan is a good one taking you over a couple of tops,met the only people i'd see all day,a family and their dug at the top;

Back to An Socach;

and again;

Family and dug leave me to the summit cairn;

An Riabhachan summit pic;

Another sizeable drop to the next Bealach was followed by an even more sizeable climb up to the third Munro Sgurr na Lapaich;
View to Sgurr Choinnich and Sgrr a Chaorachain above Loch Monar;

Beinn Findlay and Carn Eighe;

Sgurr na Lapaich;

Back to Riabhachan;

Loch Beag and Mor;

Back to Riabhachan again;

The climb up Lapaich,harder than it looks in this photie;

Caught up with the family again at Lapaich's trig/cairn so had a quick blether then off steeply down towards Carn nan Gobhar;
Family in trig shelter,Lapaich;

Route to Carn nan Gobhar;

Looking back up Lapaich;

Not so much of a climb up to Gobhar ,had to take my time coming off Lapaich though,steep with some big snow patches,crampons were on for a short spell

First cairn on Gobhar,the summit i believe,looking to Strathfarrar hills;

Lapaich and Sgurr nan Clachan Geala;

Bigger cairn on Gobhar;

From the top of Gobhar it's an easy descent to Mullach na Maoile;

Golden Plover?;

View to Mullardoch dam;

But from Mullach na Maoile it's a horrible steep slippy descent to the track


From there it's a stroll back to the car,a fine day all in ,glad i took the boat though

Memorial and tractor;
