Tilleadh is an Tigh Ura / Colla returns !

[Collaciotach]

Where does time go ? uill nuair a bha thu a thogail tigh ura .............

An tigh ura

Having a new house is a blessing ................but a curse to build ,as it keeps you very busy and off the hill for the large part of the Winter !

Tha i deisel an drasda agus nach eil e fad air falbh bho Gleann Sron an t Sithein is duthaich Aird nan Gobhair .

She is finished now and i am " fortanach " to be right on the doorstep of Sgurr Dhomhnuill ,Garbh Bheinn and a rake of Ardgour /Sunart Corbetts and Grahams:D

In fact i can walk to them from my door

Garbh Bheinn Aird nan Gobhair

Bha mi air a cnuic beagan am Gheamhraidh ..... I have claimed a few hills over this winter in between building, but no as many as i would like ,so air Di Sathairne i decided to do Sgorr a Chaorainn and Beinn na h Uamha at the back of Airidh Fhionndail

This involved cycling my bike from the new house to Ceann a Creagan a total of 20mins an cu was the wingman

Ceann a Creagan is An Cu

Ceann a Creagan " the head of the rocks" .... aite inntinneachd, below the old mine works this old clachan was home to a few Suaineartaich in past times, their Airidh or sheilings are plain to see on the Glen floor.

Ceann a Creagan

From here a easy coisich following the river keeps you out of the bog ,path is faint in places before you climb the bealach onto the shoulder of Sgorr a Chaorainn

Garbh Bheinn

Tha i creagaich am bheinn bheag .... she is a rocky wee hill offering good excersise and grand views for her size

Beinn Resipole is Suaineart

Sgurr Dhomhnuill

Lochan Beag

A dhaithghearr na sealtainn a fosgailte ..... to Loch Liobhan and an Tir Mor

Loch Liobhann

A fine mullach this one and the weather fine for a wee bit lounging and viewing its a fair hoof to Beinn na h Uamha mind

Air a Mhullach

Beinn na h Uamha

A ribhist na sealtainn gle mhath .... there is some nice walking up here and no one around

Gleann Gobhair

We were soon on the mullach of Na h Uamha and aye Sgurr a Chaorainn seems a good way back , be a long haul in the snow

An tilleadh

Garbh Bheinn

We were about 40 mins back onto Sgurr a Chaorainn and a wee cadail in the fasgadh for half an hour

An Cu

There is good visibility from the top a chaorainn to Suaineart and sios ann Ghlinne Mhic Phail and Gleann Scaddle and worth the rest

Suaineart

A ribhist

Tilleadh sin dhachaidh ..... we went back home the same way although you could do this route as a circular if you had transport at Aird nan Gobhair .

Tha mi a fhalbh gu an t eilean Sgithanaich an ath direach seachdainn / i m away to Skye next weekend hopefully for Sgurr Dearg and the Innaccesible Pinnacle, but an cu ? .......... well he is staying home

Some place to have on your doorstep - one of my favorite bits of the country (mind you I say that about anywhere west of the Great Glen ).

[PeteR]

An enjoyable return As others have said, I'd wondered where you'd gone. Some place to be building a house

I really must get out to this kneck of the woods a bit more me thinks. It's not an area I have investigated much, but your reports and photos certainly bring it to life
