Made the most of the weather window this weekend ticking off the South Glenuaig munros. The long 5.5km walk in to the start of Sgurr Choinnich was made alot easier by bringing the mountain bike. Although I spent most of the first 3km on the hydro track pushing the bike uphill!

The wire bridge across Allt a'Chonais is no longer usable, so I had to just walk across using the stepping stones. Thankfully the water level was low so I had no issues crossing.

The stalker's path made for easy going up to Bealach Bhearnais. The first bit of proper ascent then began on my way up to the Streangan nan Aon Pacan-deug ridge. After a few scramble sections the ridge was gained and it was a fairly gentle traverse to the first munro summit Sgurr Choinnich.


The wind began to pick up, so I quickly made my way down the zig zag path to the Bealach Coire Choinnich. There were good views on lonely Loch Monar to the south east throughout the descent.


It was a fairly straightforward ascent up to the second munro, Sgurr a' Chaorachain. This summit had the best view of the day looking across to Bidean an Eoin Dearg.


I then made my way down the mostly path less south side of Srón Na Frianich. It was a bit demoralising having to drop all the way down to 580m before the steep drag up the western nose of the Maoile Lunnaidh plateau. Once on the plateau, it was a pleasent walk across to the summit of Maoile Lunnaidh.


The descent down the north eastern side was fairly steep. Once I reached an crom-allt, I made my way west, then north west across the boggy quagmire until the land rover track was reached.


It was then another 3km until I reached the point where I left my bike. I then had a throughly enjoyable 15min bike ride downhill back the the start.
