Fisherfield in 3 Parts

This trip report comes from Cris Bonomy who recently did the Fisherfield Six...

Being neither a camper nor a bothyperson I divided my assault of the Fisherfield into three separate day trips.
Saturday July 30th, I ticked off my remaining 3, Beinn Tarsuinn, Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair and Sgurr Ban. This sortie had been planned for the Sunday of the Achnasheen w/e, but with the weather due to break, I selfishly went a day early with only one of the proposed 3 companions.
On a blistering hot day, midges and clegs enjoying right royal feasts, we (Roy and I) set off from Incheril, Kinlochewe taking bikes as far as 1½ km short of Lochan Fada. Thanks to Roy’s height and biking experience, we were able to negotiate a couple of high deer gates. With such good visibility we headed straight for Beinn Tarsuinn, then picking up paths did the next 2. The downside of this route is having to climb Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair twice!
Having complained bitterly about dragging the bikes so far in, the ride out was sweet and with enough time for a well earned pint at the Kinlochewe Hotel.

Sunday July 24th, I stayed at Carn Dearg, Gairloch, SYHA. From Poolewe I cycled to the far edge of Kernsary forest and from there walked to A'Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mhor. As I was on my own and cloud was rolling around the tops, I didn’t do the ridge on A’M but stayed on the paths to the bealach between the two hills. A very long but most satisfying day.

Saturday 7th May, was my first sortie, starting from Coirre Hallie and walking the route to Beinn a' Chlaidheimh. (Remember to think about the level of water in the River Sealga.) Although only one Munro on this trip, it gave a good taster of what was to come in distances to cover and the general lie of the land.

Often regarded as ‘much prized’ amongst Munro baggers, they are best saved for a good day to savour the full grandeur and I was fortunate enough to have managed that for all except A'Mhaighdean.
