Stob Coire Sgriodain, Meall Garbh, Chno Dearg from Fersit.Geoff Briggs09/08/2021
With Alex McBride from Fersit we climbed Stob Coire Sgriodain (978m) & Chno Dearg (1046m) Munro numbers 148 & 149 respectively for me, while repeats for Alex. We included the Munro Tops of Stob Coire Sgriodain South Top (958m) and Meal Garbh (976m). There was snow patches on Chno Dearg and the descent from here through the boulder field, was made unpleasant with the wet snow in between the rocks, no views due to cloud and quite cold, 7:12hrs all in.chillyman814/11/2020

Decision time here, is it a walk thru or do I walk back to Loch Ossian SYHA. Called National Railway information line, and after some spelling out of strange Scottish names found the train would be at Tulloch at 1808hrs. Walk thru it is so after here its straight on for Chno Dearg. A walk through from Loch Ossian youth hostel taking in 2 munros to Tulloch Station. Train back to Corrour. Saw evidence of Ptarmigan but did not see any birds. Only wildlife I saw 2 x hairy ubit (caterpillar) 2 x ravens pecked pecking at the ground near where I was having lunchLizzieG14/10/2014
