Walkhighlands

I cycled from Kinlochewe caravan site and managed to cycle / walk to the bridge where you start the climb for Slioch. Probably wouldn't recommend cycling this path as its rocky in places and the bracken is also fairly high. I also fell off the bike twice on the way out when the peddle caught one of the rocks. After i padlocked the bike i took the path to the right where you leave it further up to head up to Slioch. I caught up with a walker in front, who also uses Walkhighlands and walked with him to the summit. We had a bite to eat at the summit before returning down the ridge to Sgurr an Tuill Bhain. It was my intention to go over to the Graham, Beinn a Mhuinidh, so i left Mark and made my way down Meall Each, where a path leads down to the river. I reached the river but couldn't cross it and didn't want to take my boots off so just made my way back to the bike and the cycle out.

Surprised how much water there was for your burn crossing! What date did you walk this JC, TOMORROW! When's THE BIG DAY then?

The big day is possibly Friday if the weather holds out

Good Luck Friday, fingers crossed weather holds, Saturday on the East looks dreadful, Enjoy, All the Best Rod

Good luck with the last one and good weather we hope

Seems Slioch was a popular hill recently. I was there on Sunday. Might get some photos posted, for a "compare and contrast" It's a very different hill when viewed from the approach path when compared to the classic vie from across the Loch

Having walked the fern path I wouldn't have wanted to bike it Well done on that.

Good luck on that final hill

One left the Johnny - I'm heading to Torridon myself soon, if your having a munro party and it's not on Friday, let me know

Good luck - tomorrow (Friday) is set to be a cracking day

Thanks folks got the last one done today, weather was perfect

wondered if Mark goes by the name of "bowzi" on WH ? if so, I've also met him a couple of times on different hills and different years - cheers

Yeah, I'll doubly confirm that's me!

Hi Johnny! Nice meeting you and sharing the journey to the top. Congratulations on your compleation, I expect a Corbett one will follow before too long

Got some decent weather myself to put Skye to bed and now there's just one on an island and one on the mainland for me to do Might even think about posting a trip report or two when it's all done!

Cheers
Mark
