Great report.
I was there 2 weeks after you. I concur - Fisherfield is a major expedition, and one to be savoured slowly. For anyone still to do it -
- Beinn a Chlaidheimh hasn't lost any height in millions of years. Just because it's no longer classified as a Munro, but its still a bloody big hill and an integral part of the expedition.
- I notice from your photos, you crossed the river at the same place as me. Although I did it after the driest April in 75 years, following one day of heavy rain, I crossed in shin deep water, and was glad I packed flip-flops.
- There is some running water between Tarsuinn and A Mhaighdean - just listen out for it on the boggy beallach.
- No photograph can truly capture the magnificence of the view from A Mhaighdean's summit. For such a major expedition, if there is a risk of low cloud, I wouldn't waste 2 days hard slog, and miss Scotland at its most beautiful.
