A short half day in Glen Feshie using my favourite path to reach the higher ground.
1 Scan (800x575).jpg
The path starting close to the turn off to Balnascriten.

Although the tree-grabbing machines have basically knocked it apart in the lower stages a bit of perseverance will get you through to the higher stages that were not affected..
3 DSC01321 (800x450).jpg
At the wee lochan the path becomes as it has always been....well apart from a bit of underuse.
4 DSC01330 (800x450).jpg
Onto Ghiuthsachan which is a fine viewing platform.
5 DSC01341 (800x450).jpg
Good outlook to the higher Sgorans and in many other directions.
6 DSC01345 (800x450).jpg
The following day I started out from the Chuaich hamlet and followed the canal to get to the march between Chuaich and Drumochter. Fine outlook towards Ben Alder.
7 DSC01348 (800x450).jpg
A'Mharconaich from higher up.
8 DSC01353 (800x450).jpg
The Lancet edge peeping through.
9 DSC01359 (800x450).jpg
Fairly heavy going through the breakable crust and even on the flat area towards Carn na Caim difficult plodding through the sastrugi.....the rewards of the views out to the West were to be savoured.
10 DSC01363 (800x450).jpg
Cairn Toul and neighbours
11 DSC01369 (800x450).jpg
I returned to the lower ground by the broad ridge between Coires Cam and Chais with a fine look into the fierce looking Chais.
