Sgurr a’ Mhaoraich, a Loch Quoich munro
Took a quick run up Sgurr a’ Mhaoraich, a lone loch quoich Munro last night. Same story as usual, wait until the baby has had his bath and is tucked up in bed and then head out the door. I got parked up at 8.15pm and headed up the standard route – a straight forward ascent up a good stalkers path to Bac nan Canaichean then traverse across to the summit, this time I returned the same way.
I enjoyed great views on the way up (probably because I wasn’t really running as much as I should have been) and couldn’t help stopping for photos.
I eventually reached the summit in about an hour and 20, few more snaps taken from the summit in the fading light and then a nice run down, back at the van for 10.35pm, 2 hours 20 mins. A stunning evening to be out in a great quiet location but if my running is going to get better I’m going to have to stop taking my camera and make an effort to run up hill!
Running legend Mr Fallon reccommends doing this hill, Gleouraich and Spidean Mialach and then Gairich all at once, something to think about for the future maybe?
