Bit of a tough walk for us this one.
On the plus side, it was a gorgeous day weather-wise and others clearly were taking advantage of the clement weather and as a result we had to park several yards up the road in a layby rather then the suggested parking spot by the gates.
However we only came across one other walker; a lady with two spaniels and an adorable Border Collie
Lots of rocky bits to climb over on our way to Beinn a Chaorainn but it all added to the flavour of the walk. Top views from the summit and the broad ridge that followed was a delight.
Dropped down considerably after traversing lots of shin splitters followed by LOTS of bogs. Took a vote to determine which was worse; two votes for bogs and one for shin splitters.
The ascent to Beinn Teallach was made harder by the fact that we ended up a little off-track and paid the price by engaging in more scrambling than we'd bargained for.
En route we heard and saw several Golden Plover and Ptarmigan.
Walked by Sarah and David (62nd and 63rd) and Alice (41st and 42nd)
Bog-soaked feet for both Alice and David before we'd even started climbing. My feet were nice and dry in my Brashers until I went knee deep in a sneaky bog. Lovely.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
