Beinn na h-Uamha & Sgurr a'Chaorainn circuit

[m3doc]

Small car park on E side Corran Ferry terminal at 10am and took the e-bikes free across the ferry and biked 3 miles easily to Sallachan then crossed the River Gour bridge where, fortunately, the adjacent forestry gate was unlocked. The track is rough and waterlogged in places and after 2.5 miles we abandoned the bikes to continue half a mile on foot to the crossing of the River Gour which was low enough to get across using boulders as stepping stones. Up the SE ridge to Beinn na h-Uamha 762m (putative lowest Corbett) summit cairn under 4 hours with superb views all around. Down W to 564m col and up to Sguur a'Chaorainn 761m (putative highest Graham) summit cairn under further 2 hours. Down S to grassy col below Sgurr na Laire then SE grassy slopes by two streams to pick up semblance of a boggy path / ATV track wandering about to River Gour again crossed by boulders as stepping stones as water level low enough. The ATV track rises up S 100m before turning E left along the rough wet track back to the bikes (ants had invaded a pannier and cycle helmets but the can of beer was like nectar having been shaded in the 26 degree heat) . We powered through the flooded parts of the track on the way back and got the ferry at 8.15pm.

Looks like you had a great day for that outing to Ardgour . E- bikes are definitely
the future , especially for oldies approaching remote summits. Excellent
pictures , though not a good advert for skin exposure to harmful rays!
Keep up the good work.
