A two day trip taking in 3 Munros in probably one of the last of the few wilderness areas of the UK.
The first Munro, Beinn a' Chlaidheimh, has since been promoted to Corbett status after a resurvey showed it was only 2998', just short of being a Munro, hence it becomes a real jewel for the connoisseur.
Looking west over Loch a' Bhraoin, the distant hill in the center is Slioch with
Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair's southern top just visible to the right.
Lochivraon at the western end of Loch a' Bhraoin
6 miles in from the road and my first look at the hills. In the far distance to the left of Loch an Nid
can be seen An Teallach. In the middle of the picture is my first hill Beinn a Chlaidheimh with
Sgurr Ban being the very rocky hill on the far left.
Rather worryingly cloud starts to lower onto Beinn a Chlaidheimh, not what the forecast had promised!
This small beach on Loch an Nid provided an ideal place to rest and wait for the cloud to lift.
Heading north to Beinn a Chlaidheimh.
A wee Ptarmigan chick, so well camouflaged I walked through the entire brood nearly standing on them, if it had not been for the mother doing the broken wing routine I would have never spotted the young!

Looking down to Loch na Sealga with An Teallach to the right.
Heading south off Beinn a Chlaidheimh towards Sgurr Ban, to its right is Beinn Tarsuinn
withh Slioch being the distant hill.
