Description

Walked the N shore of Loch Affric with George, Jason and Tam.
Stopped under a fine Scots pine.
Tam made experimental pine needle tea - which was amusing: he declared that it tasted just line hot water with pine needles in the bottom.
Did relocation exercises from there which was excellent: a good opportunity to build on yesterday`s learning.
Walked as far as Allt Coire Leachavie which with the heavy rain, rose before our eyes.

Sgurr na Lapaich (1150m) and An Riabhachan (1129) are the highest peaks on the southern side while Sgurr a’ Choire Ghlais (1083m) is the tallest on the northern side. Mountains in the list are all about 900m. The area to the south of this is Glen Affric and Kintail.
