Weather forecast looked good for today so had booked the day off a few days before. Turned out a lot more cloudy than forecast with a little unexpected rain early on.
Original plan was for an out and back for each of the corbetts. Then spotted malky’s report and realised there was a Graham in the middle so decided on the loop instead.
Set off early and parked in the car park at Innerwick. Along the road, past the memorial then off up the track northwards.
Uphill with Meall a’Mhuic to the left
Turned right into the trees then up to the edge of the forest then sharply right
Walked east until reached the summit
Surrounding hills
Then set off NE down towards the track aiming to stay as high as possible before starting the ascent of Meall a'Mhuic
Cam Chreag in the distance
Looking back
Ben Lawers & co
Then up to the summit
Meall Ghaordaidh
Meall nan Tarmachan
Debated heading NW towards Meall nan Sac then SW to pick up the north end of Cam Chreag's ridge. However, some recent foot pain which seemed to have cleared up sufficiently the previous night had flared up again - was having to walk by “flopping” my left foot down each step and trying to keep pressure of the big toe joint - must have looked rather odd. Did think about heading back as well but in the end decided just to keep going but by the more direct route.
SW down towards Lairig a’Mhuic - lonely tree
Height loss before ascent to Meall nam Maigheach
Cam Chreag
Tin shed at the end of the landrover track
Various sections of water with tadpoles - seemed quite late for them ?
Steeply uphill then north along the flat ridge
Summit cairn
Stopped for some more food then off back down to find the track back to the car.

Met two separate couples of walkers on the return leg. Nice walk back to the car park which was a lot busier than when I left it earlier.
