Itinerary description
10/06/2018
From Sgurr na Sgine there is a cliff if we try to keep east, so instead we have to decend to the south west until the slope let us go down to the stone wall which we have to follow east at last. The ground is pathless and the next climb is quite steep, although after that top the path reappears progressively.
I lost the path (if there is any) in the last big descent to the road so I just run down on very steep grassy terrain aiming for the small bridge over the stream where a path goes to the road.
Instead of running on the road back to the car, I crossed it and run between the road and the river through very rough patheless terrain, following sheep track when possible.
