Finally at the 3rd time of asking! It was a day in the hills for me and after some fantastic weather, I was glad that the gods did not play with me. Indeed, the weather was ideal for a long run in the hills, not too warm but plenty of visibility. I was running light and expected to take several hours, with the possibility of either combining it with the Corbett Sgor Gaorsaic, or the Falls of Glomach.
My intended hills were in the distance and the track made for excellent running, really right up to the bealach an sgairne. From there, it was a much steeper trek but with excellent views over to Sgor Gaorsaic and beyond.
However, it was becoming increasingly clear that if I was to combine Gaorsaic and this Munro, it would be a double-back exercise and I didn't really fancy that. If anything, a long run over the bealach from Morvich would be a good run so I made the decision to continue on to the Falls of Glomach once over the summit. I rested at the summit, my 254th Munro. I enjoyed some food and drink before reluctanctly setting off down the mountain.
Once down at the excellent path, I headed East and down towards the Falls of Glomach. It was doubtful that I'd be down this way again so I wanted to really take this part of Scotland in and wasn't to be disappointed. The photo doesn't do it justice but the drop down into the gorge was impressive, especially considering there hadn't been rain for several weeks. In Winter, this would be something else. Maybe I will come back!
All that remained was to re-trace my steps back up to the bealach and head back out and down the path back to the car, with a 21-km route completed in just under 3.5 hours. A superb outing and good to finally compleat all my Kintail Munros.
