We whipped through the hostel duties in record time this morning and I was soon heading up to Am Bathach in Glen Shiel for a quick hill fix before the afternoon’s chores began (cutting the grass and going to the shop for beer). I couldn’t get parked in the usual layby due to some forestry operations so headed onwards to the Cluanie Inn. A slight route change involved following An Caorann Beag up to Bealach a’ Choinich before reversing direction up to Am Bathach’s summit rather than the usual steep slog up from the A82.
Am Bathach is a great little hill for a quick ascent or as part of a route up the munro Ciste Dhubh and provides a great viewpoint of the surrounding Munros. Up and down in 1 1/2 hours, a real shame I had to head back so soon, Ciste Dhubh was looking very inviting!
