Glen Shiel Ridge seven from the Cluanie | liljonb | 01/08/2021 |
Parking at the Malagan layby, I headed up to Bealach Duibh Leac, over Creag nan Damh, bypassing Sgurr Beag. The ascent up Sgurr an Lochain was bruttal, but Sgurr an Doire Leathain was more manageable. From here I descent the NE shoulder to pick up my bike that I'd left at NH 036 119 on the A87. The downhill ride back to the car was fun. Blue skies and very warm all day, 09:20hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 25/07/2021 |

Camped at Cluanie and did the ridge from Creag a Mhaim but continued to Sgurr na Sgine (ascending straight up the face) and dropped down to Glen Shiel via Faochaog. Had left bike at the road, but still tried to hitch. Gave up and cycled back to Cluanie as midges were biting. | jigglybones | 29/05/2019 |
