Glenfinnan Double
Route: Sgùrr Thuilm and Sgùrr nan Coireachan
Munros: Sgùrr nan Coireachan (Glenfinnan), Sgùrr Thuilm
Date walked: 14/08/2020
Distance: 23.5km
Ascent: 1428m
The ascent to the first munro was straightforward and I was soon at the summit where there are 2 cairns. It was still early and the mist was down so no views. I returned to the fence posts and turned right to walk the ridge. It is delightful ridge walk up and down over several peaks, wild and remote with a good path throughout.
I reached my second munro summit as the clouds lifted revealing wonderful views.
The descent was intermittently very steep. The path was generally clear and I soon joined the stalkers' path on the lower slopes to the track. I was so thankful to return to the fast flowing little burn on the main track where I replenished my water and rehydrated.
The return along the road seemed longer on the way back. An estate worker drove past and helpfully said that he was sorry he could not give any lifts due to Covid. His friendly chat was very welcome however and boosted my energy at the end of this memorable day.
