Stob a' Bhealach an Sgriodian

(Peak of the Pass of the Screes)

Long walk in and back

Seem to have recorded tomorrow's walk here too.  Day one just the first 9 miles and 3875 feet of ascent.  Second two tops are tomorrow.

First a nice cycle in, not mostly on tarmac road of course.

There was some uphill on the two mile cycle in.  Looking North to Streap on the left, and Braigh nan Uamhachan on the right (I think).

Campsite in the bog.  Terrible midgies but great view.

Heading off up the track for hill one.

First view of what turned out not to be the top of the hill.

Nice glen, with the Alt na Cruaiche running through it

Over there's the hill, though the top isn't yet in sight

Was a bit hazy, but this is the down and up, to cross the Cona River

Looking back to what I have had to come down (and need to go back up on the way home).

Gaining height on the Stob, again looking back to where I have come from. Tomorrow's Sgurr Craobh a' Chaorainn on the left.  Another long walk.

Getting closer to the elusive top

That is it.  Well worth the effort!

Another look at tomorrow's hills and the track back in the middle.  Cona Glen now a little more visible.

And back to Cona Glen

Managed to keep my feet dry.  Then the climb out and back to the tent.

And relax - apart from the bog and midgies.
