Meall Chuaich 21 June 2015
An enjoyable East Highland walk in brightening, eventually sunny, weather up the northern outpost of the Drumochter Munros. An easy approach from the A9, with expansive views from the summit (3,120')especially W and NW, to Ben Alder and the Monadhliath. Surprisingly little wildlife seen despite the sun, waders on the river being the highlight. Munro total now 166.

Sgurr nan Each, Sgurr nan Clach Geala and Meall a'Chrasgaidh ( Central Fannichs) 19 June 2015
Cloudy and breezy, no views but dry for the last 3 Fannichs I needed to climb.......the cloud lifted briefly at intervals to reveal the first summit, and later to show the glens and Loch Fannich. In between, cloud, narrow ridges and a surprising amount of snow still lying. A pity to miss the corrie views especially from the second Munro, Sgurr nan Clach Geala at 3,586'. Sgurr nan Each was first at 3,028' and after enjoying the ridges we descended off the final Munro, Meall a'Chrasgaidh at 3,064'. Golden Plovers calling in the mist were a highlight. Munro total 165.

Ben Klibreck 18 June 2015
A dreich windy day in Ullapool and the northwest, so a change of plan and a drive N to tackle one of the remoter Munros, Ben Klibreck. A boggy approach and a surprisingly steep pull onto the ridge led to a windy cold and clouded-in summit (3,153') with some sleet in the wind.....an outlier bagged. Munro total 162.
