| MY LAST MUNRO!!! From bivi just to south on summit where I ended a very long day yesterday (see Carn Eige)so I was on top in time to see the sunrise which managed to beat the slowly increasing cloud. Celebrated with a pork pie brought especially for the occasion and a whisky miniature. Also completed yesterday all Munro tops and I thought at the time all deleted tops though I subsequently found another 6 of these do. No phone signal so I could not phone my wife to get myself congratulated but I did pass two people on the way down and told them so that they could be the first to congratulate me - which they did. Due to very early start got down in fine weather with the strong wind and cloud which was to dominate later in the day just coming in. Finished in winter room of Glen SAffric SYHA before walking out to road. | dickscroop | 30/09/2013 |

| 2nd of 5 w/Jim. Dropped down from Sodhail and followed the bypass path to skip Eighe...although this was soon lost in the poor visibility. A couple of ups and downs before you're out on Findlay but with zero views you don't see how much height you have to regain. | bowzi | 24/08/2013 |
| With Yeltzbagger and ketzster. Got a boat to take us up Loch Mullardoch and camped out for two nights. Very wet day; I got worried because Yeltzbaggercarried on to repeat Carn Eige and seemed to be taking longer than expected. | Stevie n Tay | 01/08/2013 |
| With ketzster and Stevie n Tay on trip rpund head of Loch Mullardoch with assistance of boat. Very wet day; I carreied on to repeat Carn Eighe. Stevie n Tay and ketzster very upset because they thought I had got lost tking longer than expected. | Yeltzbagger | 01/08/2013 |
| Climbed with An Socach | munromurph | 09/07/2013 |
| After Cairn Eige, dumped the sacks at the col and strolled up. Lunched at Coire Lochan and walked out along the shore of Loch Mullardoch. As this was waist deep heather and rough terrain we were grateful that the water level was low so we could boulder hop along the shore, but in places we were forced back into the waist deep heather. Being very tired Mrs Mindlessflogger slipped whilst crossing a stream and got a soaking so we camped and finish the walk the next day. Ever since then no walk has been as rough as Loch Mullardoch. | mindlessflogger | 09/06/2013 |
