linear walk after being dropped off by Lorna/Ewan on our summer holiday to Ardnamurchran and Mull.
1310 started by telecom mast @ Loch Linnhe and hot, steep, deep bracken ascent to Graham Beinn Na Caille 1450 (1h40m). weather excellent as good breeze to keep cool, views superb all around.

Quick grassy descent to bealach and upwards to 1st Corbett Fuar Bheinn 1610 (3hrs) plodding pace in heat, good views of Strontian. NW descent until past crags and descent to grassy bealach and lovely angled grassy pull to 2nd Corbett Creach Bheinn 1740 (4h30m). Head down NNW ridge until see new track to small hydro dam on Allt a'choire Dhuibh, reach main road at 1920 and a tiring foot weary road walk of 1h 20m walk back to Strontian campsite. Welcoming party meet me on outskirts of village.
