Parking
½m north of Vagastie, I cycled the 2½m to Crask Inn. After
a crystal clear start to the day, the above picture shows cloud starting
to form on the summit of Ben Klibreck. This was of some concern as the
same had occurred the previous day and the cloud that formed in the morning
persisted all day seeImage show route map |

Leaving
Crask Inn, the track doesn't look too good, and it doesn't improve. Ben
Klibreck now well covered in cloud. show route map |

Looking
back to Crask Inn from abou half way over the moor. show route map |

Crask
Inn now some 3 miles distant. Although very boggy and heavy going, I thoroughly
enjoyed this walk through Strath a' Chraisg, in fact it may well of been
the highlight of the day. show route map |

Over
the Bealach Easach and looking north east down to Loch a' Bhealaich. My
route will take me up the hill on the left skyline. show route map |

earlier has now cleared. show route map |
