Moruisg

Sgurr nan Ceannaichean is the smallest Munro of all and linked to this is Moruisg, big water so a nice wee day out was planned with my lovely new wife-to-be, Emma. I had promised her that it would be relatively straightforward and she believed me. It bodes well for the years ahead. We parked just opposite the wee cottage at Loch Sgamhain and while we advanced up the grassy slopes we noticed another car park, much nearer of course to our objective. Anyhoo, it didn't take long for Emma to start complaining about the walk-in and steepness of the hill. Food was administered and this ablated the moaning somewhat. To be fair, Emma had complained of a sore knee prior to the trip North and so the loosening off wasn't having much of an effect except one that was detrimental. No matter, we were almost at the summit of Moruisg and happened across a lovely mountain hare which sat and watched us as we took photos of it, literally 4 feet from its position. While we took photos of our summit shot, Emma was not impressed at the next hill of choice, even though it was the smallest. Emma's knee was sore, my ear was sore but we continued on and began the trek across to the smallest Munro, Sg Nan C.
