Headed back up towards Loch Treig and Creag Meagaidh for the weekend planning for walking both days, starting with the east side of Loch Treig.
Being a bit later in the day the car park out past Fersit was pretty full, but managed to get a space. Heading east we walked over a bridge and a railway bridge past a few houses, turning south past the end of some farm buildings, then past an open area with some machinery that is marked as sheep pens on the OS map. From here the going for the first half kilometer or so was pretty boggy and the path tricky to find until you start climbing more.
Once higher after a steep section, around Sron na Garbh-bheinne we stopped in a sheltered area to have a break. From here it was around a kilometer to make the summit of the first Munro of the day, Stob Coire Sgriodain. Quite windy at the top, but the views from here over Loch Treig and in the far distance Blackwater reservoir made up for it.
Heading south down to Glac Bhan, then up over rocky ground east the Munro Top of Stob Coire Sgriodain South Top was quickly reached. We didn't hang around and continued south east, then east over at times some rocky ground aiming for the low spot marked 923m between the remaining Munro and its Munro Top.
Just at the low spot, we turned south, heading up for the Munro Top of Meall Garbh, annoyingly another double top, with the furthest away one 1m higher. Note there was a largish body of water between the two today that isn't marked on the OS map.
Retracing our steps we headed north to rejoin the path heading north east to the last and highest Munro of the day, Chno Dearg. It cleared up for a short time, but still windy so we took some shelter at the cairn to have another longer stop.
The route down north west from the summit was hampered a bit with some remaining snow and rocky until lower down where the path mostly disappeared and became a heather bashing bog fest until reaching a track around the Allt Chaorach Beag burn.
Once back at the car we didn't hang around as time was getting on for checking in to the Bunroy Park campsite. When setting up our tent one of the poles snapped, but the site owner gave us some gaffer tape to temporarily repair, another item to add to the kit list for next time. Next morning I woke with a really sore hip, must have been sleeping on something and Ailidhs ankle was sore after a couple of awkward twists on the previous days heather bashing, so we decided to head home instead of another Munro outing.
