The Cairnwell Munros

(14.9.2014) The Cairnwell Munros, 13.1km, 4hours 6min. Ascent 595m

Took my mate up his 2nd/3rd & 4th Munros. We left the cafe and headed North around the ski paraphernalia and up the stoney path to the summit of Carn Aosda 917m. Sunny, hazy views, claggy at the cairnwell. Made our way SW along the broad ridge to the belach above Loch Vrotachan. Headed  round above the broken crags of Creag a'Choire Dhirich, along by a couple of small lochans before summit of  Carn a'Gheoidh 975m where we had lunch. We then aimed NE for the top Carn na Sac 920 before hitting the bealach 808m and then joining the path up to the summit of the Cairnwell 933m in the clag. We then took a direct descent NE over rough and pathless ground back to the start.
