Ciste Dubh and Aonach Mheadhoin

As part of the Glen Shiel weekend, Charlotte and I decided to hit these two - I had particular fondness for the former as it had an impressive North East face and was supposed to be airy near the top. We followed the path from near the Cluanie Inn and walked all the way to a bealach, a gentle walk. From here, it was due North and up quite a steep route but once on top of this, it was quite straightforward although near the summit, you do get a great feeling of exposure. From here, we headed back down to the bealach and then headed up the hill (Sgurr an Fhuaruail) beside Aonach Mheadhoin - it was quite an arduous climb but once we bagged the 2nd Munro, we headed back to the Cluanie via Sgurr an Fhuaruail for a nice short day out. Coffee and cake was had here and then once we changed, it was back doon tae Glasgow, with the glorious sunshine making it happy day indeed.
