Knoydart


2 days ago we set from Kinloch Hourn with the intention of walking up the 8 Munros in the remote area of Knoydart, with an overnight stay in Sourlies bothy.
 We started with a long slog to Beinn Ladhar (pronounced Larven)then worked our way over 2 Munros down to the Bothy.
 Today we woke at 4am for an early start to the day starting up Sgurr na Ciche, but not before collecting some mussels from the beach.
 After two 12 hour days we made it back to the dam on Loch Quioch with only about 10 miles left to cycle back to the van. (luckily for me (pete) Joe lost at Rock, Paper, Scissors and had to do the the cycle while I slept on the side of the road) We are now on the Isle of Skye with some friends from University of Cumbria (Nick Michel and Jack Loftus).
We were planning on doing the Cullin traverse tomorrow, however, today is the first time it has rained on the Isle for a month. We plan to reurn in the better weather. Sgurr na Ciche
