(21.5.16) Streap: 20km, 8hrs,33mins.
On the Saturday the forecast was pretty dire. Heavy rain & low cloud. The Streap circuit was another on John's to do list from the Ralph Storer book. We set off early on the drive however it wasn't till after 12 when we started walking. Had a cuppa in John’s wee van till the heavy rain eased off. Parked up at the side of the A830 & headed up the track NE through Gleann Dubh Lighe.We headed up the rough ground up one of the steep gullies to Bealach Coire nan Cearc. The wind picked up as we hit the bealach but it was not as strong as forcasted. There was no sign of more rain which was a bonus. Just low cloud. Nevertheless it was still an enjoyable ridge walk & one to return maybe even in winter. Didn't hang about long at the summit then made our way to Streap Comhlaidh: The descent South from Streap Comhlaidh felt like forever and ever before we got back to the glen. Popped into the Dubh Lighe bothy on the way back. Nice wee bothy. Need to return for a night there.
