A Stroll in the Mamores

After yesterday’s epic, Ally and I planned a shorter day’s walking and headed for the Mamores. Having parked above Kinlochleven, we had intended to go up Na Gruagaichean but, seeing a large Plas y Brenin group heading that way, we rapidly changed plan to get a bit of space from the crowd.

Instead, we made our way up Sgurr an Iubhair, whose final ridge to the top proved to be hard work due to the deep powdered snow. However, the view towards Ben Nevis, Carn Mor Dearg and Aonach Mor made it all worth while and started to formulate a plan for tomorrow.

After making our way over to Am Bodach, we found the going very easy under foot as we descended rapidly to the snow line.
