Mullardoch Round

48 miles, 20,000 feet

Ceathreamhnan on a fine morning

 

 

 

 

The Mullardoch round normally takes in the 12 Munros surrounding the loch of the same name.  I added in the two Corbetts to the East, not having done them before, as well as the Munro tops of Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan.  The basic circuit without the extensions is a fine round, easily achievable in the Summer, but in the winter, the remoteness and lack of shelter, makes it a serious proposition.  

 

This is a serious winter round on which I saw no people, no habited buildings, no roads and apart from a brief distant vista, no lights. I set out alone and carried everything. Highlights were a shooting star, a brocken spectre, the Alpenglow, rock hard neve in the moonlight and shimmering ice. Only the final descent marred a magnificent day.
