Sgurr a Mhaoraich 14 May 2018
A fairly remote part of Scotland on Loch Quoich, and excellent stalkers paths, and views once again, for this excellent viewpoint being an isolated hill. Rocky near the summit (3,369') and I had to divert around. Couple of deep snow patches on the path, but a great panorama especially of Ladhar Bheinn down Loch Hourn, and Sgurr na Ciche across Glen Dessary. Up and down in 5h owing to the excellent access. A great trip, 5 summits all with views, and memories of the expanse of the western Highlands with snow-streaked ridges and northern corries accentuating the views. Munro total 207.

Beinn Fhada 13 May 2018
A really enjoyable walk in steadily proving weather, very varied - forested Glen, then a stalkers path zigzagging up the corrie onto a rocky plateau and a summit with a 360 panorama in the continuing good weather. Total 206.

The Saddle and Sgurr na Sgine 12 May 2018
A stunning days weather in Glen Shiel starting with a superb early morning by the loch at Kintail. A good stalkers path, we bypassed the Forcan ridge up to the bealach. A steep pull up to the Saddle, and a great ridge and small exposed summit at 3,314'. A fantastic viewpoint in the stunning weather, from Ben Nevis and Knoydart round to the Cuillin ridge and the hills of the northwest ranged out in front of us - Fisherfield and Torridon all in view. Then down and up surprisingly steep slopes to Sgurr na Sgine, slightly lower at 3,100'. A great day to complete the Glen Shiel Munros, total 205.

Beinn Mhanach 11 May 2018
A bright morning and then more cloud and eventually some rain late afternoon. First day of the trip with Jen and Matt, good to finish off the Bridge of Orchy hills. A long walk in on predominantly grassy slopes, a strong southerly wind. Some snow patches still lying. A moderate pull up to the summit at 3,130' and a good viewpoint, especially east where the skies were brighter. Rather a boggy descent. Munro number 203.
