14.4km + 1010m. North West Highlands.
Layby GR532271 off A836 (09.10), followed the track to the cairns of Cnoc Sgriodain (10.20) with a pause to enjoy the views, before trundling along the ridge to Ben Klibreck (12.30). Didn`t hand about due to the strong wind, and clag, headed back down. Half an hour later the summit cleared and I was taking photos of the route I had taken. I was back at the van at 15.15.
It was a good walk, with crampons needed to get down the rock hard snow above 750m. On the way up I`d managed to make do following old footsteps!
I did have the bonus of spotting a couple of otters as I waited in the queuing traffic on the Cromarty Bridge.
