I met a Graham Bagging friend and we drove up Glen Roy, accessed from Roybridge on the A86. I parked on the grass prior to the ruins at Brunachan (Grid Ref. NM314895) where there was space for a few cars. The cloud was well down the hillside and there was[…]

Easterly Ascent Sgurr Mhairi, Glamaig
On previous ascents of Sgurr Mhairi on Glamaig, Isle of Skye, I started from Sligachan, so on this visit I planned an easterly approach which avoided the scree, appeared easier and allowed me to include the Graham Top, An Coileach. I left my car in the lay-by on the west[…]
