Getting remote
Partway out to Mullach na Dheiragain from Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan. MnD is the darker peak along the ridge in the middle-distance. (Carn Eige and Mam Sodhail are the peaks to the right). This felt like a long out-and-back walk in a VERY remote place, made all the more fun by the twisty rocky path over intervening summit Carn na Con Dhu. A 28 mile day in total. 14 on bike (cycle in and back; Loch Affric car park along the loch's south shore to the Allt Coire Ghaidheil bridge approx 1.6 miles beyond Strawberry Cottage) and 14 on foot - hike up to Bealach Coire Ghaidheil, over An Socach to Sg nan C'nan, out to MnD and back, cut across Coire nan Dearcag, down to Alltbeithe Youth Hostel and walk back to bike. Do-able in a single day; I think it was around 11 hours. Fantastic journey into a remote area.. but tiring!
