A long day out from Glen Affric to take in four Munro's and several Munro tops. Up via Sgurr na Lapaich and Mam Sodhail then out to bag Beinn Fhionnaidh before climbing Carn Eige by which time the cloud came down. Returned by following ridge to Tom a' Choinnich then southeast to a very wet valley floor and back to car.

Walked in from Chisholme Bridge ascending Sron Garbh & then the superb ridge walk over/round the pinnacles of Stob Coire Dhomhnuill to Carn Eige which as you would expect is an excellent viewpoint. Headed North to Beinn Fhionnlaidh before returning around Carn Eige to ascend Mam Sodhail. Followed the SW ridge & eventually met the track through the glen for the long tiring walk back to Chisholme Bridge. An epic mountain day.

Fourth highest of all OSGB36 trig pillars. Overall approach from ESE. Parking at NH216242 and NH200233 depending on choice of route through hills. Followed mapped track west to NH148228 then NW to about NH125248 where the path fades away. Climbed the side of the steep gully to the north and onto the ridge for Mam Sodhail. Final 1km NE is all on the ridge, returned via same route. Carn Eighe. Munro summit with wind shelter. Primary station pillar in good condition. Spider centre open and filled with debris. Flush bracket faces SSE, compass reading 160°. Vented through NW sight hole. 360° panorama from top.

My Munro #213 climbed alone. The day before I'd parked in the Car Park at the foot of the Gleann nam Fiadh quite late after a long drive up, and set off with full kit, pitching a wild camp a little way up the Allt Toll Easa in the only tent sized patch of level ground I could find. Woke up to a glorious morning, struck camp and set off to bag Toll Creagach, Tom a' Choinich, Carn Eighe, Beinn Fhionnlaidh and Mam Sodhail before pitching camp again E of An Socach. A stunning day, if pretty gruelling carrying a full rucksack over 5 Munros, but absolutely worth it. Carn Eighe was one of 2 Munros that day where I encountered other walkers - this lot were the most unfriendly, stuck-up, arrogant bunch of snobs I've ever met hillwalking. I hope one of them reads this!

Carn Eighe was the third Munro of a 6-Munro day from Alltbeithe YH but the only one with a trig point. My walking diary records the time we reached each summit but not the state of the pillar.

White painted back then... Backpacking into Affric via munros. Check out the remains of the old bothy on the neighbouring top, Mam Sodhail. There used to be a man living in there to keep the likes of us out! Carn Eige is the highest point of the near island that is "north of the Great Glen" A very prominant peak.
