On Sunday Norman introduced me to the joys of top bagging. After a 26km walk I admitted that it may not be for me! However we did have a super day. The weather was much improved from

the wintery day we had on Saturday so we set out from Morvich caravan site, acompanied by Norman's wife Kate, with a spring in our step. We had heard tales of Hunter's Pass and decided instead to take the tourist route along the Gleann Choinneachain and up Allt Coire an Sgairne. After a quick bite at the munro summit (my tick) we headed east to Sgurr a Dubh Doire and were rewarded with superb views into Glen Affric and beyond. Then back west past the summit and on to Meall an Fhuarain Mhoir to Norman's second top, and this time views across Kyle to the Cuillins. From here we also watched a lone soul heading off along the western ridge. No doubt this is the direct route back to Morvich, but our already weary legs chose to return by our ascent route. Just over seven hours from when we started we returned, tired but happy, having had a truly wonderful day. Thanks Norman.
