Considerable hill on Sguman Coinntich to Faochaig walk (see their logs for details)	pwheeler	23/05/2001
Solo. From Killilan. Walked up path close to Allt a� Choire Mhòir and then up hillside to summit of Sgùman Còinntich then followed ridge to Sròn na Gaoithe and on to the summit of Faochaig. Went NE and then found a path which was followed roughly eastwards. There followed a stiff pull-up to the summit of Aonach Buidhe. Descended the SSW ridge to Iron Lodge. Met up with a friend and took turns with a cycle down to Killilan. Quite a long day. Weather good.	pwbellarby	07/05/1994
