"Start walking 1400h + Finish 2005h = 6h05, 20.9km, ascent 672m Torridon-Coulags-Strathcarron on excellent stalkers paths combined with a simple pathless traverse of minor peak Carn Dearg for some views. It’s a fantastic viewpoint on a clear day with interesting rock scenery; you descend down massive inclined ice scoured sandstone slabs peppered with boulders. A minor summit well worth the effort. Park at Strathcarron station or arrive by train. Two cars not needed for this point-to-point, the key to the logistics being the 702 minibus service leaving Strathcarron station Mon-Sat at 1250h once the afternoon train arrives. Fare £5.20 cash. https://bustimes.org/services/702-strathcarron-shieldaig-or-torridon Ask the driver to drop you at the start of the hill track at Annat. Enjoyed my packed lunch on the pleasant stony beach here before starting walking. I also had breaks at Coire Fionnaraich (Coulags) bothy and a quick wild swim in a lovely little pool about 300m before the A890. South of this road my route involves a stream crossing and some vague navigation before becoming properly established on the excellent track (which long ago was the main road) to New Kelso along..." — davidb • Aug 26, 2020
