Sunday 3rd August, Munro Bagging in Scotland, The Penultimate one

Our goal today was Senna Bruagh a solitary Munro with long approaches from the North or the West. We had chosen to walk in from Invereal on another out and back route. However the weather today was much kinder and we enjoyed a cool breeze and clear views across Torridon.The route followed the forest tracks before rising steeply to join an old stalkers path. This provided good easy walking for many km, before passing the lochans below Meal Glas an Ruighe. The path continues on uphill from here and gradually become fainter. At this point we left the tracks and made our way across the moorland towards Senna Bruagh. A faint path reappeared at the foot of the climb up to the 906m spot height.

We choose to contour round the hill and climbed up to the shelter on the summit of my penultimate munro. We enjoyed some good views from the summit and the company of some wild goats before retracing our steps back to the cars.

My Munro count is now 283, a trip to the final munro, Ben More on Mull, is planned for the Saturday 16th August.
