Cairngorm Club weekend meet at Elphin. I went to Ullapool and had coffee with a couple of other members. I then went to Quinag and went up all three Corbetts solo. First went up Spidean Còinich (764m) passing over the east Top, then over points 713m (Creag na h-Iolaire Ard) and 745m (Sàil Gharbh West Top) to Sàil Gharbh (808m). Then back over point 745m and over Sàil Gharbh Far West Top to Sàil Gorm (776m). Very hot.pwbellarby07/07/1991
