With clear blue skies across the whole of Scotland I though this was definitely my chance to finally bag those tricky munros up Glen Lochay that I've had two previous visits to but on each occasion barely got started on the walk.
Parked the car at car park before Kenknock farm and took the bike 4 miles up the valley to the foot of the hill. A short upwards section of twin track took me to the upper track from where it was straight up over grassy terrain to towards Sron Nan Eun and then a more pleasant high level walk to the summit of Creag Mohr.
Nice views down the valley on the way up:
And along the ridge towards Creag Mohr:
The next summit was in view with a large expanse of high land and the peak right at the far end of it:
The decent involved heading briefly in the wrong direction and then a bit of a jog over boggy grassy slopes to the col between the mountains. The haul back up again was hard work then followed by a pleasant but lengthy high level walk to the summit.
Back the way I came before taking a left turn down the grassy slopes to the river between the hills. The rough hilly terrain was hard work at this late part of the day.
Finally made it back to the bike and a tired return to the car park.
4.5 hours walking time (9.3 miles and 1186 m ascent) and an hour in total on bike.
