0900 - 16.00, 18.5km, 1420m. Grey Corries, Central Highlands, Scotland..
Little high altitude cloud, strong to gale force wind on ridges, very cold. Corriecholle, Stob Coire Gaibhre, Stob Coire na Ceannain, Stob Choire Claurigh, Stob Coire an Laoigh, Stob Coire Easain, Beinn na Socaich, Dam, tramway back to GR 256788.A day of fantastic weather tidying up tops! I got a lift up to the forest edge, which was great, and at the end of the day into Spean Bridge where I waited for Nicky to pick me up. The wind was so strong that it was easier to walk on the windward side of the ridges with crampons on leaning into the wind. Stob Coire an Laoigh was a struggle even on hands and knees!
