Sgurr Breac and A' Challeach



Our first munros were Sgurr Breac and A’ Challeach.  We started from a layby on the A832 near the eastern end of Loch a’ Bhraoin.  The weather was good as we followed the track towards a new path though the woods. This led us up the path following Alt Breabaig to the col. As we followed the river with its many little falls, we could see a large heard of deer to our right. Soon they knew we were there and moved on.










At the col we then headed up steeply to our first munro. As we got to the top the cloud had come down behind us and what we thought was rain was snow. With luck this did not reach us but the far hills had a light dusting. From here we had to drop down and up to Tomain Coinich before going upto our second munro A’ Chaillech..

We had to retrace our steps to head north down Sron na Goibbhre and then head east at the end. This took us though a crag area and to a faint path. But we never found the path until we reach the loch. Coming down was rough under foot and not easy finding a route as you would get so far and then had to retrace your steps due to a drop.
