Loch Arkaig to Sgurr na Ciche and back :) :) :)

[Bod]

This is it! In my opinion one of the very best munro days out there, what a place to be! We all loved it and waiting for the Sunday weather was so worth it despite the very late home time. The West Highlands at their best

Scoob, Andy, Fi and Valerie crossing the bridge at Strathan before entering the forest where we visited A'Chuil Bothy too :)

Emerging out of the Glen Dessarry forest and greeting the slopes of Garbh Chioch Mhor and Beag.

Glen Dessarry rocks!

Access to Sgurr na Ciche

A look down over our approach

The beautiful Loch Nevis, a very favourite place of mine .... I did not want to climb Sgurr na Ciche again without seeing this very special view :)

Sgurr na Ciche summit cairn

The boys!

Loch Nevis and Inverie Bay appearing too :)

Looking back again to Sgurr na Ciche from above the lochan on Garbh Chioch Mhor :) :) :)

Onwards now heading back eastwards enjoying the mountain grandeur, above, below and all around :)

That dry stane wall that twists and turns and incredibly fills all sorts of wee gaps along the way.

Loch Quoich in clear sight :)

The rough bounds of Knoydart ..... amazing!

Fi and Valerie loving our traverse of Garbh Chioch Beag :)

Love ma Lochans, as I always say :)

On now to Sgurr nan Coireachan, third munro summit of the day.

Our route down ..... though Scoob and Fi divert for an extra Corbett and we meet back in the valley :)

What a place .... we bid our fairwells and drop back into Glen Dessarry.

Delighted with our day, it's not without further fun getting back to the carpark. A wee detour to Upper Glendessary involved a bog trot and some delays on the track meeting the Highland coos (lovely beasts that they are) and a final 15 minutes of rain to get us right drookit before driving out for a last orders supper in Roybridge.

[PeteR]

I have to agree with you Bod. Three superb hills You certainly had the day for it

But what's with the bikes?

[Johnny Corbett]

Great stuff Bod and good to see you guys showing Andy some Scottish hospitality

[simon-b]

Superb, Bod. What excellent views you all had. Definitely one of the rounds on my 'to do' list I'm most looking forward to.

[Mrs Scoob]

Fantastic day it was too... even with the endurance test on the way out

A 'Bods eye view' :D

[Scotjamie]

Excellent report of a great looking day, Bod
Inspiring stuff - well done all, except...... a lochan without Ritchie??

[rockhopper]

[scottishkennyg]

Cracking day there Bod and well captured with the images.

[jonny616]

For once i can say i visited this fine mountain area on a glorious day also. I too found it breathtaking and will certainly return sometime. Great photos.

I must say though bikes!

[londonwalker]

Hi Bod great pictures will add some of my own. This was a top day out, a fantastic walk and Fi and Scoob bringing the weather and a bike for me, Thanks you all for making a super day, All said and done one of my best days in the hill

It has raised a few questions though.
Have you got Valerie a new bike?
Will she ever follow you on a short cut again?
Is Sgurr na Ciche the best looking munro out there?

Scoob looking like he's just about to do a bank job

At the Bothy

Quick snack break

Ohh what a poser!!!

Decent View

Decent view with people

Lovely couple

[2manyYorkies]

Looking at your photos Andy, you seem to be morphing into Eco-Dave from the Fast Show....

[Fife Flyer]

Nice one Bod, some great photo's

That area will have to wait till next year, hopefully with the same weather you had
