| Sgurr Thuilm and Sgurr nan Coireachan from Glenfinnan. Incredibly windy above 800m - blown off our feet a couple of times! | Geoff Briggs | 12/08/2021 |
| I bagged another two Munros yesterday (11/10/20), cycling up Glen Finnan (underneath the much photographed viaduct) to the Corryhully Bothy. Then hikking up to Sgurr Thuilm (963m), then westward along the ridge to Sgurr nan Coireachan (956m). Followed by a seemingly never ending descent back down to the bike and blissfully quick cycle back out. It was dry all day, with some great views from Sgurr Thuilm, but the low cloud didn’t shift from Sgurr nan Coireachan, 08:10hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 11/10/2020 |
