First feeling of autumn on Loch Ness-side
Sub 2000s: Tom Bailgeann
Date walked: 08/09/2018
Time taken: 0.6 hours
Distance: 3km
Ascent: 200m
Sub 2k Marilyns: Tom Bailgeann.
Date: 09/09/2018.
Distance: 3 km.
Ascent: 200 m.
Time: 40 minutes.
Weather: Warm and sunny
Part of a 30 mile cycling circuit from Inverness.
I had cycled down to the local Parkrun with few expectations for the weather - at least that would get me out of bed and feeling like I had done something! But the weather turned out to be absolutely stunning, and after a scone and many cups of tea, I opted for a pedal down to Loch Ness afterwards, then up to Duntelchaig.
Loch Ness and Tor Point
Meall Fuar Mhonaidh and a glimpse of Nessie
Looking back down to Loch Ness and Abriachan
As it was so lovely, I decided to include a short walk in the day. Tom Bailgeann fit the bill nicely, being a quick 200m ascent from the road with a sketchy vehicle track up to the mast on the summit. The views from the summit are quite reasonable as well, taking in the northern end of Loch Ness and the Affric mountains, all in lovely early autumn sunshine.

Loch Duntelchaig
South to the Farigaig
N end of Loch Ness
Across to the Affric and Cannich hills
Drumnadrochit
Wyvis and the Fannaichs
Inverness and the Moray Firth
Duntelchaig
Summit mast
Across the S end of Loch Duntelchaig
Back at the bike, I continued the loop round via Loch Ruthven, Croachy and Farr - this is probably one of my most cycled after-work routes, and always enjoyable.

Creag nan Clag
Stac Gorm and Loch Ruthven
Looking down on Inverness
A lovely afternoon out - would have been good on the higher hills too
