It feels like Sunday. I know its really Saturday, but... whatever.

Here's a photo of Skye and the mountains of Fisherfield the other week.

Skye on the path rounding a shoulder with a view to Sgurr Ban and Meallan an Laoigh. The scene is a path through sloped moorland bog and heather with Skye looking across the glen ahead to the snow capped mountains beyond. From here Sgurr Ban looks more rounded, but Meallan an Laoigh is a kind of wart on it's lower slopes.
Approaching Loch an Nid in the centre, with the snow capped corbett of Beinn a' Chlaidheimh to the left and a distant An Teallach beyond the far end.
Dark and snowy cliffs of Sgurr Dubh viewed across the glen

A long and tough walk for us today to the remote Loch an Nid. I wanted to recon the route as I'd like to use it to visit the munros of Sgurr Ban, Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchar, and maybe include the corbett of Beinn a' Chlaidheimh as well.

I'd walked the track to Lochivraon bothy which was wet and a bit rough but it doesn't really prepare you for what lies afterwards. Despite the peaty wet feet it was a cracking walk into a fantastic place.

Skye the border collie looking at the view to Sgurr Ban and Meallan an Laoigh. The scene is from a high viewpoint looking across a brown, boggy, glen to snow capped mountains. A burn cascades down rocky slabs from a high coire. Skye is standing on our path.

Once past Kernsary the track passes through woods and out onto a boggy path across the moors.
I wanted to get far enough along to get a view of the Fisherfield hills before I had to turn back. I sheltered at the edge of the woods for a squally shower to pass and had lunch.

Carrying on I met a couple and dogs who'd spent NYE at the bothy, in the company of 2 climbers.. Fantastic!

The views, as far as they were still, were definitely worth the effort.

Skye the border collie sitting on the path looking back at me taking her photo! In the background is looking to the subsidiary top of Spidean nan Clach and the Corbett Beinn Airigh Charr.
Looking across the expanse of dark moorland to (from left to right) Beinn a' Chaisgein Mor, the prominent knoll of Sgurr na Laocainn and then Ruadh Stac Mor. It's too small to really make it out here but you can just see the lodge at Carnmore.
