Day 2 of our long weekend in Kintail, having just done a big route yesterday... cycled 12km from Killilan to Iron Lodge - very picturesque :D Set off on the track up the Graham then peeled off to make a straighter line for the summit. Started to clag over as we headed for An Socach - the last of the Mullardoch hills (we'd missed this one a few months back, going for the range from Strathfarrar side but racing against the locking gate!). Steep climb up and a long way back to the bikes - cycled out in the rain :roll: Stormy night followed so lack of sleep + tired legs meant we had a day off on Monday instead of climbing the last of the Cluanie munros... just means we'll be back in this area sooner :lol:
