I love combining a bike ride with a mountain outing, even if it’s just for a few short miles. Starting from Inverlael near Ullapool, you get get quite a way into Gleann ns Squaib on two wheels.
That’s exactly what Meg, Peter and myself did when we did a round of three Munros, Beinn Dearg, Meall nan Ceapraichaen and Eldidh nan Clach Geala. We’d planned to add Cona Mheall to our route as well but decided to skip it, and we’ve still not got back up there yet, despite at least one attempt since!
The full route is described in the latest TGO magazine – that’s the December 2010 edition.
Now I’m looking forward to some more winter trips in the Scottish mountains. I just hope this wind will calm down soon, as we’ve got an interesting bothying trip planned for the weekend…
