Pleasant walk through the woods and moorland along a decent path from Grotaig to Meall Fuar-mhonaidh, then Oh the Flies! Descended steeply to Nighean a'Mhill and Mac a'Mhill before a longer stretch over pathless ground to Glas-bheinn Bheag - collecting an ever increasing number of flies, clegs and midges as the sun climbed higher and hotter in breathless air. Nevertheless, we pushed on to Glas-bheinn Mhor's East Top and main summit. Unable to stop to admire the view due to the bugs clouding our heads we bee-lined to the NE shore of Loch nam Breac Dearga and up a grassy gully back on to the footpath down to Grotaig. Several cold drinks later in the Pottery cafe revived our flagging bodies. 5hrs total. | summitter | 28/08/2021 |

Really not worth effort but I wanted go make sure I could find the indistinct path back to the tourist path to Balbeg before it got dark. | Martin R | 02/01/2015 |
