Saturday 14 July 2012

3 days to go!


The Last few days have been spent walking around Glen Cannich and Glen Strathfarrer. 



On Wednesday we planed to walk the 12 Munros north and south of loch Mullardoch (shown in the image below.)

 You would think we would be fit and ready to go after our full rest day and 'all you can eat' Chinese in Inverness the day before, but... No!... We somehow managed to sleep in until midday!


We got up swiftly and walked along the north shore of Loch Mullardoch to 'do' the 4 Munros on the north side, 
An Socach
An Riabhachan
Sgurr na Lapaich
Carn nan Gobhar

On Thursday we then walked along the, horribly undulating, south shore of Loch Mullardoch(see pic) to access the 8 Munros to the south. This walk-in proved to be more tiresome than expected. (with a interesting water crossing, see image!) 

After walking the 8 hills; we made it back to our Orange van in the 'wee small hours'. 


We decided to take Friday off, just because we could!


Today(Saturday)- Another very easy day. We walked up the 4 Munros on the ridge North of Glen Strathfarrer. They were more mellow than expected and we were back in our van by 2pm ( We set off at 9.30)


So after 2 relaxing days we feel recovered and ready for the final push to the end. 

The Plan!
Tomorrow (Sunday)- All 9 Fannaichs
Monday- 6 hills around Ullapool
Tuesday- Conival, Ben More Assynt, Ben Kilbreak and our final hill... Ben Hope!


(as I write this we have found internet signal in Inverness, We will try to update the blog daily until the end if signal allows)
