Big long ridge walk undertaken over 3 days in Glen Affric climbing 2650m.
Parked up at Chisholme Bridge after the long drive up on Monday 14th and walked up the track a few km up onto a sholder of TollCreagach to camp.
Woke on the 15th to a sea of midges....packed and ran up to get into a breeze. Once off of the steep heathery slopes the climb wasn't too back and the summit soon reached with great views of the Loch Mullardoch Munros.

Now off to Beinn Fhionnlaidh via Belach Beag (is you find a small rubber water filter hose here its mine!).

Now back to camp in the belach between Carn Eige and Mam Sodhail. Uncomfortable and noisey thanks to the rutting stags, but great views.
Next day up to Mam Sodhail......

......and on along the ridge via Belach Corie Ghaidheil to An Socach before dropping down past Loch Corie nan Dearcag for the thankless long ridge walk of Mullach na Dheiragain.

Camping on the E ridge before the ball achingly dull, spirit crushing hike out back to the car.
