Two men, a Munro, a Corbett and a boat ...

Sticking with the theme of mixing lochs and mountains, my Dad and myself headed north for another one of his Munros - Sgurr Mor being the target.

Overnight digs was the excellent Invergarry Bunkhouse which gave an easy start point for the next day. With two people to get across the loch, my wee packraft was left at home and instead the Sevylor Sirocco was chosen. The sevy is not nearly as fast as a hard hull canoe but with no transport issues, I reckon the overall trip time is the same or maybe quicker.

I had heard previous reports of the estate not being keen on folks heading over the loch so we inflated the boat down on the shore and headed off fairly quickly. An hour later we pulled the canoe up the bank and swapped paddling gear for hill gear.

One of the special things about the route was my Dad getting a new Munro and me getting a new Corbett with Sgurr an Fhuarain. We used the excellent stalkers path which goes round the back of Meall a Choire Bhuide and onto the Corbett summit. Got bugged out by some high altitude midges at the trig point so continued along the ridge to the main objective of the day of Sgurr Mor. My Dad's hill fitness was great and as we dropped back towards the canoe ..there was time to reflect on the fact that there is three more hill days before heading out to compleat !
