Already warm and midges out
Coolness of forest
Looking down the Abhainn Cuileig - midges rife
Loch a'Bhraoin
Boathouse
Height quickly gained but a lick
Sron na Leitir Fhearna
Nice bimble along to Druim Reidh
Nice path
Loch Toll an Lochain - escape route

South to Kinlochewe and Strathconon

Loch Toll an Lochain, closer
Boiling. First of several naked dip and clothes washes of the trip
Bloody steep descent, no discernable path
Still boiling, considered another dip, but decided to push on
Approaching sheepfold
Sheepfold, should've skirted it from a distance. Subsequently descended too far for stile. Walk out was a lick
First stile
Second stile. Cross country hard going
Summary:One of many unbelievably warm days, so early in the summer and from first light. Lay-by packed at 0600, lot of campers. Midges rife. After ascent to plateau/ridge was a dripping mess, thankfully without midges, slight breeze. Underestimated water needed - Spring snow patches useful. Summits bliss - slight breeze, mossy ground, solitude, sleep to make up for early start. Views ridiculous. Two people seen all day. Descent to corrie and naked bathe. Pools perfect, deep enough to fully submerge, not shockingly cold, warm rocks to dry clothes on. Descent was rough, bone-dry heather without path. Tried to contour but descended too far, had to reascend to stile. Long. Few photos on way out. Could feel sun burn on the cards so fully covered but sweated buckets due to layers. Hard slog but amazing conditions/views. Car an oven. Windows down drive back to hostel (closed end of 2018!!) on Little Loch Broom amazing.
