Explorers sent up thewall and around the bend Clouds one facet, sun the other adds hidden knowledge to an alternativeroute up Creag Meagaidh Clouds one facet, sun the other adds hidden knowledge to an alternative route up Creag Meagaidh Summit Rehearse
STRADDLING the traditional Druim Alban, the mountain backbone of
Scotland, the huge bulk of Creag Meagaidh sorts a top watershed
with the River Roy emptying about the west and Spey Loch (merely concealed
from inside the peak view by an intervening ridge) sourcing the child
Spey as it drains east over here about the Northern Sea.
Not merely does Creag Meagaidh form the watershed, but more usually
than not she also sorts a "weathershed", with the mountain tops and glens on
one facet blanketed by darkish cloud, whilst the other guidance is bathed
in rays of the sun. It is a phenomenon I've got never professional with such
uniformity on any other hill and last weekend was a normal example.
I've got always believed Creag Meagaidh's most natural trait 's the assortment
of vegetated clfs which form the headwall of Corrie Ardair. Laid out
for nearly two kms and in a few zones ascending sell old iphone 450m beyond the
waters of Lochan a' Choire, the row of clfs is breached merely by
"the window", a glaciated gap within the bumpy drape which provides simple
go into from Coire Ardair about the mountain's upper attains.
Whilst this road to Creag Meagaidh's peak provides probabilities
to encompass the other Munros within the range, Carn Liath and Stob Poite
Coire Ardair, I've got usually glanced up at Meagaidh's corrie-bitten
southern flanks and halfpromised myself a look for a different option
road to the peak. One trait has always captured my alert cognitive state - a
two-and-a-half-mile ridge which curves seductively over the long,
sinuous corrie which has been shaped by the eroding waters of the Moy
Melt away.
Which seemed like a respectable ascent route so we left the auto near Moy
and followed the Moy Burn out nearby the vegetated and damaged crags
of Creag na Cailliche, the snub-nosed termination of the ridge over
Loch na Cailliche. A gloomy duvet cover of cloud had already obscured the
foothills of the west and the high, rounded corries of adjoining Beinn
a' Chaorainn stared darkish and forbidding. Curiously, the steep hillsides
of An Cearcallach, presently in the rear of us, were bathed in sunlight and
away throughout the River Spean, Beinn a' Chlachair, Creag Pitridh and
sell my cell phone Geal Charn were flirting amongst sun's rays and shadow.
As we left the tussocky lawn and heather approach and took a
weaving lessons up amongst the crags of Creag na Cailliche it was
hard to fathom how the day would progress.
The approach by the Moy Melt away was clumsy due to the long
grasses which hid rocks and tiny rocks, and the tussocks which endangered
to twist our ankles. Besides that, the route up the south-east face of
Creag na Cailliche concerned a distressing quantity of scrambling up
oily rock and heather gullies but so therefore, all of an abrupt, everything
altered.
Only far after the flat peak of Creag na Cailliche a drystone fence
seemed, an incongruous sight in such loco panoramas. This was zero
ordinary broken-down relic of fence, but an ideal example of the art
of drystane dyking, perfect in its symmetry and form, stretching out
along the trunk of the curving ridge which rose before us.
According about the Operating system map, this fence comes after the queue of the
district border amongst Lochaber and Badenoch, but next clambering
northern for nearly two miles it suddenly stops to get replaced by the
queue of an old wall. Why everybody ought to have arrived at the cost and
difficult graft of constructing such a fence to delineate amongst two district
council zones defeats me.
The contrast amongst the sooner tactics and the underfoot
conditions of the ridge couldn't have been finer. It was a rejoice
http://www.technollo.com/gadgets?mfg=Apple&id=1 to climb solidly up hillsides of wind-clipped heaths and short playing surface,
sheltered from a wind by the old fence. To our right the hillsides fell
away in a tumble of crags down about the Moy Melt away, to our left, above
the hillsides of Coire nan Laogh and Coire na h-Uamha, the steep clfs
of Beinn a' Chaorainn rose to a rounded peak. Above which, there
was minor to see other thanagreyvoid.
We did not mentality, we were headline east at present, towards sunspeckled
plateaux, past the 3 peak cairn of Creag Meagaidh and down
towards Meall Coire Choille-rais where we gazed down on the
battleship-blue waters of lonesome Lochan Coire Choille-rais, deepset
in its bumpy corrie cradle, Creag Meagaidh's forgotten mountain tarn.
Long but simple hillsides fallen us down about the Allt nan Cearcall and
we were back on tussocky lawn and heather. We struggled above the
minor ridge of An Geurachadh, trod the bogs and tripped above the
bracken and heaved a sigh of alleviation when our boots met the tarmac of
the A86.
