Aonach Shasuinn and Carn a'Choire Ghairbh
(Ridge of the Sassenach and Cairn of the Rough Corrie). Names make no sense!
![]() Strangely the carpark at the end of the road does not allow overnight parking, which saved me some money but was a pain. |
Just a wee walk in with my kit, before a night in the woods. So many hills around here. |
![]() View from a bridge |
![]() Sgurr ne Lapaich (it was an original "Munro" but now it is just a "Munro Top") and Mam Sodhail. |
![]() Walk in. Cycists beat me! |
![]() Found a spot on a wee island. Tight, but a great pitch. |
![]() |
![]() What else could you ask for? |
Friday - a couple of Corbetts, and a hill in between. Not sure Outdoor Active is so good on hights - it's only 2,901 feet! |
![]() Lovely walk up through the woods to start. |
![]() Mam Sodhail. and Sgurr ne Lapaich again - they do kind of dominate the view north. |
![]() And a view of the first hill - Aonach Shasuinn on the left, with An Elric in the distance, and the shoulder of Carn a Choire Griabh on the right. So much to do. |
![]() |
![]() Opted for the steeper left side of the corrie. |
![]() Many hills indeed. |
![]() Come a fair way already, and that nasty steep ascent done. |
![]() The top on this one is one of these two pathetic cairns, not the big thing over there. |
![]() One of the tops of Sail Chaorainn that I did before. An Elric to the right, in the foreground thankfully. |
![]() More hills. |
![]() Backward glance before the first descent. |
![]() Think we have Mullach Froach Choire in the middle background, with my next hill on the left and last hill on the right. |
![]() And to the left, the confusing peaks of Sail Chaorainn. |
![]() Looking down the Allt Garbh glen |
![]() A Chralaig and Mullach Froach Choire- a good walk |
![]() Looking back to Aonach Shassuinn - the down and up has disappeared into moor! |
![]() And one more down and up to get onto Cairn a Choire Ghairbh, which wasn't too bad. |
![]() Then just the ridge to walk down. |
![]() View of hills |
![]() Not the summit cairn |
![]() Summit over there! |
![]() Made it. |
![]() Glorious. A Chralaig and Mullach Froach Choire again |
![]() Sail Chaorainn. |
![]() Loads to see up here |
![]() And the long walk back. |
![]() Along the ridge, looking back - come a good bit now. |
![]() First hill over there |
![]() And second hill over there. |
![]() Final view up Loch Affric and Loch Beinn a Mheadhoin before descending. |
![]() Below the tree line, done all those today. |
![]() And then home. |
