Set of at 4am to make an early start and beat the traffic on the A82
by the time I reached Loch Ba the sunrise was spectacular and never took one pic
was too busy just admiring it
reached Kinlochleven at 5.55 ,I had decided just to do the walk in approach shoes so
lost no time getting ready just on with the rucksack and let my four legged friend out the back
and we were off ,height is gained surprisingly quick
Looking back down on Kinlochleven
Moving along at a good brisk pace I soon reached Loch Eilde Mor and here the clag was well down
I had made my plan to head along the Lochside and start my ascent via the Allt Riabhach burn
there is a faint path to this route and very soon I reached the usuall route just at the waterfalls
below and by now the clag was lifting nicely as well
From the Coire An Lochain it was a quick ascent to the summit of the first Munro of the day Sgurr Eilde Mor
Looking over to Binnein Mor I could clearly see the path traversing up the the bealach
A look back over to Sgurr Eilde Mor
so it was a straight down decent to Coire a Bhinnein to reach the path ,the path is excellent in that is give a nice gradual ascent and I was the bealach before I knew it and in very good time ,here I took off the rucksack for the final ascent up Binnein Beag no problems here and was on the summit of number 2 in quick time
Back down to the bealach and a spot of lunch and some fluids
From here I had decided to ascent Binnein Mor via the ridge Gualainn a Bhineinn Mhoir the ascent up to the ridge was very wet and slippy over a steep grass slope so care was taken once on the ridge it gives an easy ascent the rest of the way
From the ridge I made the top with no stops and going well
Looking over to the Ring Of Steall I had done that 2 weeks previous and it looks great from here
Setting off for Na Gruagaichean I could see the first walker I had seen all day
I had a few words with him and he was making for Binnein Mor for his first of the day doing the 2
reaching the bealach I seen some of the Mamore locals enjoying lunch below in Coire nan Loagh
On reaching the top it started to rain a little but not enough to spoil the day though
I went for the direct route straight down for the top to the landrover track
From the track I took the path branching to the left back down to the car park,another great day in the mountains
