Another site meeting a Kyle of Lochalsh which overran, and weather looking a bit showery, so decided to do this rather than Buidhe Bheinn, as it would be more sheltered. Parked at the Glomach Falls forestry carpark (no longer signed or marked), then fast walk over the Belach an Sgairne on a good path. Streams impressive with extra water, and alternate sun/showers. Passed a group of Germans near the bealach summit, who had taken most of the day to get from Alltbeithe youth hostel.

Path deteriorated a bit down by Loch a Bhealaich, then off piste and straight up Gaorsaic. Similar route back down then same path back. If the weather had been more consistent, would've climbed up NE ridge of Beinn Fhada, but went for getting home in time for tea instead.
