I dropped the bike off at the Cluanie Inn car park for the return journey and parked up at the layby at Malagan. Usual story, couldn't find the start of the path, the correct start is via the gate and the path towards The Saddle. It branches off to the left fairly quickly.

The path I followed doesn't seem to be the one marked on the map, but it led to a crossing point on the small river and the dry conditions meant that it was a straight forward crossing on stepping stones.

From there, it was just a case of following the path upwards and enjoying the views.

Sgurr na Sgine and The Saddle

Looking down Glen Shiel
Once up on the ridge, it's a fairly straight foward walk, other than a bit where there's a bit of a sheer drop, but it's an easy scramble down.

Creag nan Damh
I think it was probably the story of my day, getting to the top just as the cloud came down.

I did have a moment when I came back down out of the cloud on the other side as it took a moment to convince myself I hadn't taken the wrong ridge line as at this point there wasn't an obvious path to follow.

Again, I reach the top just as the cloud comes back in!

Coming down the other side the cloud started clearing again and gave some nice views all around

Coire an Lochain
On the way up Sgurr an Doire Leathain I passed a couple of guys heading in the other direction, the only walkers I see all day.

Finally! a summit with views, Sgurr an Doire Leathain

Still a lot of walking to do!
The walk over to Maol Chinn-dearg is straight forward

Last summit of the day, Creag a' Mhaim
The descent off of Creag a' Mhaim was a struggle at the end of the day as the legs were immensely weary and the thought of another 5km walk back to the bike didn't exactly help.

Looking down the ridge from the road side
Once on the bike though it was short work and mostly downhill back to the car, though I was almost ran over by someone who missed me by inches and then promptly almost went off the road in a panic in front of me!
