Mamores with Max

We drove up on the Friday and did a short recce of the parking and the start of the next days route. Staying at a nice AirBnB called Nevis Croft. 

On Saturday we set the alarm for 6 am and started the walk at 7 am.

Three munros completed by about 1 pm. Mullach nan Coirean, Stob Ban and Sgur a Mhaim.

The walk along the Devil's ridge to Sgur a Mhaim was slightly uncomfortable.

The weather was sadly not fabulous with very limited views throughout. Visibility was generall hundreds of meters and OK for route finding.

We might have done more as per best case plan but Max had a sore throat and the weather was poor and we were both by this point pretty tired. It was a direct but challenging descent down the mountain back to the Achriabhach car park that took around 2 more hours.

So around 8 hours total, 9.5 miles and 1600 m ascent.

A nice evening meal at the Black Isle Bar for beer/wine and pizza.
