Scotland 1.6.00 to 4.6.00 - Corrour

Ian and James took the overnight sleeper train for four days at Corrour, staying for the third year running at the station bunkhouse.

The sleeper leaves Corrour for Fort William. Corrour bunkhouse, station, and house.
Leum Uilleim, Loch Ossian, Ben na Lap & James.

Thursday 1.6.00 - Leum Uilleim (907m).

The day started showery, and we chose to take the north ridge of Beinn a' Bric to the Leum Uilleim summit, then return down the main ridge direct to the bunkhouse.

Friday 2.6.00 - Beinn Eibhinn (1100m), Aonach Beag (1114m), Geal-Charn (1132m).

From the bunkhouse, the walk was along Loch Ossian, and the Uisge Laibhre valley, then up the ridge on the left to Beinn Eibheinn. James waited on the summit while Ian carried on unladen to Aonach Beag and Geal-Charn, an extra 1hr 20min round trip.

Saturday 3.6.00 - Chno Dearg (1047m).

The initial plan to cross the Easians from Tulloch was aborted after an hour's walking, due to knee problems. James then stayed in the signal box while Ian walked the ridge over Meall Garbh to Chno Dearg.
