| Parking at Misgeach Power Station (NH183380), after a drive over two narrow dam structures (unsuitable for anything bigger than cars). No bridge over Allt Coire na Feithe, in spate, 2hrs W in driving rain to Clach an Daimh. Up Meallan Buidhe nan Fheadain, easy on to Meallan Buidhe. Drop and re-ascent to Meallan Odhar then easy up to Meallan Odhar Doire nan Gillean. Stalker’s path down E ridge has rewilded in lower section. Crossed Allt Coire na Feithe again, then ascending TR L up steep grass, easing off then level to furthest top of Beinn Dubh an Iaruinn. Back same way (devil-u-know), found ATV tk, but no time to investigate (veered away NW). Intermittent An Tx beside true L bank of Allt Coire na Feithe saved crossing it twice more. Slip-slided around all day, lots of non-stick Teflon white lichen | Isbjorn | 15/10/2023 |
