Ho ho ho! An Coileachean indeed. I had these two Fannaichs to do, while on a jaunt North and while I wasn't looking forward to the long boggy walk in, I was looking forward to the solitude that they offered. I was not wrong on both counts. The summits are places to sit and relax and take in the wilderness. Unfortunately, land rover tracks are in evidence East and South. Despite this, I enjoyed the odd howff, which I stumbled across and even had a gab with another manny from Glasgow. Is there nae getting away from them? I disturbed a mountain hare and roosting ptarmigan, which vocalised their displeasure at my encroachment. There and back in 5.5 hours so a good pad and fine to clear the cobwebs.
Hello and welcome to my bagging blog. In 2003, I walked up a Munro for the 2nd time and bled from my eyes. From the majestic pinnacles of An Teallach to the classic pyramidal Buachaille Etive Mor in Glencoe, follow me round Scotland as I share my experiences.
