"With Geraldine Guest, Robin Howie. We left Glenbeg Bothies, going via Loch Prille to Cona’ Mheall, Beinn Dearg, and Meall nan Ceapraichean. By mistake omitted the new top position of Ceann Garbh, but included old position*. Went on to Eididh nan Clach Geala. The return to the bothy was via Allt Uisg’ a’ Bhrisdidh.
