Not the usual way up remote Sgurr Mor, a big day however you do it. A good route if you enjoy the cycling, plus you get spared driving the Strathan road switchback and take full advantage of excellent old stalkers paths and bridges over all rivers.

Parked at Poulary NH133014 2km west of Tomdoun (just room for a car or two where the forestry road begins). Cycled up isolated Glen Kingie switching to foot at path junction NN008963. ***DO NOT miss the left turn off downhill to Lochan ruin where you must swap off great forestry trails on to a deteriorating track*** I bimbled straight on in someone else’s cycle tracks, eventually getting dumped pathless in a forest swamp. Oops! To regain track I just managed to ride/slide a boggy forest fire break downhill under gravity over very rough steep extreme ground.

Plumped to walk clockwise; no rush to get to height today given cloudy, showery conditions not due to clear till later. The path up Glen Kingie’s pretty good then an excellent stalkers path sneaks NE all the way up Sgurr Mor. Only downside this direction is it’s a long way before you summit anything! Up on the ridge the sun came out on cue affording great views of Knoydart with Sgurr na Ciche prominent. Bumped into a couple of backpackers which is another good way to tackle these remote hills.

Descended Corbett Fhuarain’s grassy east ridge making fast pathless progress. The natural lie of the land has a curious way of sucking you towards slabby crags and cliffs, forcing me to correct course hard south a few times to avoid. Coming up this way would be a slog and either way be careful here in mist.
