Fairly standard 5 Munro guidebook antI-clockwise round of the Abhain Gleann nam Fiadh taking care to visit all 9 Munro Tops, some of which get bypassed on the main MunroIst tramp. It’s a classic long day spent wandering high ridges so I ensured an early start and good forecast. Some fantastic views today; mountains all around, east and west coasts both visible (!) the Skye Bridge and even as far as the mountains on Harris, Outer Hebrides.
The Glen Affric walkers car park (free unlike the others) got moved 250m back down the Glen as part of Hydro works (all complete) so you can add 500m to previous guide distances. The upgraded hydro track is now suitable for cycles though, which might open up some new itineraries in this beautiful area?
Shortened the normal route slightly by tackling Toll Creagach direct after sizing up the initial crag band on approach. Once above this trucky rough lower section it’s pathless but without difficulty, getting easier the higher you go.
Descended LapaIch’s worthwhile long ridge to save revisitIng lest it regain Munro status. I wouldn’t want to ascend this way; you’d ‘enjoy’ a boggy ..." — davidb • Aug 24, 2020

"With Jonathan Bellarby. After ascending Tom a’ Chòinich we went west over several tops to Carn Eighe. This included a sharp rock peak at NH134265 which we thought might be the Munro Top called Creag na h-Eige which is in Munro’s Tables up to the 1974 edition. Much snow on N facing slopes with many cornices." — peter43 • Apr 18, 1982
