Carn Dearg, Carn Sgulian and A'Chailleach again
Civilized start time, heading up Glen Banchor |
Then up the Allt Fionndeig. |
Making good progress. Looking back down the track |
The way forward. |

Leaving the first track |
|
And there she blows - Carn Dearg is up there in the mist |
Looking back down Gleann Ballach. Our first hill is on the right.

After hill one we head off round that ridge to hill 2 which is at least 5km away over there |

Farewell mountain top |
And to the West, Geal Charn |
Yomping round the ridge - only 5k? Carn Dearg back in the mist. |

We were not alone. Plenty of Ptarmigan up here. |

Well that might be the top of Carn Sgulian? |

Another look back to where we have come from, along the fence line. |
|
Is this the top then? Not overly impressive, but Carn Sgulian is conquered
|
The haul up A'Chailleach seemed a better option than the cliffs. |
Where were you on Saturday? We have climbed Carn Dearg over on the left, enjoyed a stroll around the ridge to highest point on the right (Carn Sgulian), then up A'Chailleach. No wonder we are knackered?
The cairn on A'Chailleach. A lot better than the last time |

More wildlife. |
All downhill now |
The bothy at the foot of A'Chailleach. |

Bridge over Altt a'Chailleach |
Last look at A'Chailleach |
And home for a well deserved drink or two. |
