Carn a’ Chlamain

(31.8.2014) Carn a’ Chlamain 963.  27.6km, 6 hours 50 mins

Headed North near the Old Bridge of Tilt through the woodland then out  NE onto Glen Tilt. Crossed the Allt Mhairc on the stone bridge, along then over the Allt Craoinidh and up the grassy path through the heather onto the bulldozed track. Followed the track until the we hit the short stony path to the summit of Carn a’ Chlamain 963m.  We  headed over to the North top 952m before returning the same way. The weather was warm and sunny. Next time I’ll take the bike.

Sgurr Eilde Mor

 

(3.8.2014) Sgurr Eilde Mor from Kinlochleven  5 hours, ascent 1010m

With the Ptarmigan walking club we headed up through the forest from Kinlochleven into open moorland along by the other side of the burn. Headed up and crossed the burn to the path by the Ann Cumbann. Headed NE up the path by Loch Eilde Mor abd then by Coire an Lochan. Headed up the SE scree slope to the summit of Sgurr Eilde Mor. The summit was clear however on the decent heavy rain fell and the Allt Coire nan Laogh was in spate. We took the decision to head S by the stalkers path at Loch Eilde Mor where we could cross the river by the bridge. Followed the path back to the start & a quick pint in the Ice Factory.
