3/6 A tough but amazing mountain day in the rugged fringes of Knoydart. Left the car with many others along the end of the public road at the west end of Loch Arkaig. Biked from there past Strathan, Glendessary Lodge to Upper Glendessary, altogether saving 10km of walking. Followed the usual track up the steep ridge of Sgurr nan Coireachan via its South Top, then steeply down to the Bealach and along the lovely rocky ridge over Garbh Chioch Bheag (and its E Top) and up to the second Munro Garbh Chioch Mor. Then steeply down to the next Bealach and up to the stunning Sgurr na Ciche, the highlight of the day. Finally, the long walk back, initially down the incredibly steep gully and then by the easy but never ending track back to the very welcome bike at Upper Glendessary. A perfect day for the hills with extensive all round views of the west Highlands and Islands. Altogether 27km with 1600m ascent, taking 10h 20m. | silveracorn_alan | 03/06/2022 |

From Loch Arkaig road end. With Nigel. | MorecambeMonkey | 23/06/2015 |
I reached Sgurr na Corieachan at last at 1205. I had a roll, took some photos and then moved off. The descent to the col was straightforward - an obvious track to follow, albeit with care on the steep descent, then it was a very long slow pull up Garbh Chioch Beag alongside the amazing stone wall. | langskill | 12/06/2015 |
