Frosty start from Linn of Quoich at 06:20am Walked whole way. Followed path through Glen Quoich and up An Diollaid. Reached Beinn a’Bhuird as cloud rolled in descended to Sneck after some dubious navigation in the clag. Very windy at Sneck. Up to Ben Avon due to the wind it was harder than I’d have liked to get to the top of both the higher tors. Not sure which was higher but the south one was harder. Descent to Sneck down Glas Allt Mor then west through woods beside Quoich water to outward route. Walked at speed time taken including stops 7 hours 59 minutes for 23.2 miles | isabelle | 05/10/2023 |
