The boat dropped us as far up the loch as it could get due to low water level, we stashed the bags and went our separate ways. I had 5 Munros to do to the south west of the Loch - Beinn Fhionnlaidh, Carn Eighe, Mam Sodhail, An Socach & Sgurr nan Ceathramhnan. I tagged the Munro Mullach na Dheiragain on the end, done previously, but it seemed rude not to complete the horseshoe!
I set off direct up the steep, unrelenting slopes of Beinn Fhionnlaidh, in superb weather. Cold on the top of Carn Eighe as some remaining low cloud passed over before disappearing for the rest of the day. Mam Sodhail with its massive cairn. Running out of water, and finding none high up, I descending under a Coire to get to the bealach 'Bealach Coire Ghaidheil', finding water on the way.
Next up was the minor lump of An Socach at 921M the lowest Munro on the ridge before the big climb up to Sgurr nan Ceathramhnan (passing the 'B-team' on their way to An Socach on the way).
From here is was down the north ridge of Ceathramhnan to pick up the summit of Mullach na Dheiragain (done previously so known as 'hereagain'), before descending to the glen and the bag drop.
I was about an hour behind the others (we had walkie talkies for comms!), and could see them climbing the slopes of out intended overnight high camp 'Meall Shuas'.
