As part of the S6 Loch Eil trip Alan and I set off from the Outward Bound Centre at 6.45. Walked along the road then a very rough climb pushing our way through very high bracken. I was full of the cold and found climb a real struggle but views on top very good. Weather stayed dry for once and we found a far better descent through a very nice birch wood back to the centre for 10.30 to join up with students rafting.

It's a hill I never want to do again. I did it from the centre as well.

Did you do this today? Only asking because a few days ago I was walking at the top of Loch Lundavra and there was an Outward Bound bus there, and the kids were getting dragged up Meall nan Cleireach and Beinn na Gucaig. :lol:
