About 5 miles cycling up Loch Glendhu, past the bothy, then about 3.75 miles on foot to the top. Bit of a wander on the way back, but all good.
Along Loch Gleann Dubh (Loch of the Black Glen), on a fairly rocky path for cycling.
Heading up that glen at the head of the loch.
Head of the loch. Bothy on the right.
Just keep following the track.
Far steeper than it looks. Bike abandoned.
Nice waterfall
Path climbing towards a hidden valley at the top of Gleann Dubh.
And here it is. Very tranquil.
And just keep following the track. Decent bridges too.
Top of the hill not looking promising.
End of the track, looking back to Gleann Dubh.
From the top of Sail na Slataich. Looking a little better.
As ever there were loads of other hills around.
Starting to go through the "slightly awkward boulderfield" - it was fine. Looking back over Sail na Slataich
Summit, looking east to Loch More
And north west to Quinag and Loch a'Chairn Bhain
Better than no view at all, and too many to start naming the other hills.
Heading back down, a final look at Ben Leoid.
Day improving a little.
Wandered a bit off course through the peat bog, but it was a nice day for a stroll. And some birds I couldn't identify.
Eventually I managed to find the top of the track back down.
And down we go.
From the bottom of that bit.
And the bottom of the next bit, in the hidden valley.
Final descent
That waterfall again.
Back at the bike.
Route home. Last five miles by bike in an hour, so not the best track for cycling, but quicker than walking.
Had a quick look in the bothy. Sound.
