Good Friday 29th April 2002: Began walking 2.30pm from Victoria Bridge. Arrived at the pitch at 151417 at just after 6.00pm. Saturday saw a 9.08am start which is early for the Northumbrians. We left our rucksacks at the col and did Beinn nan Aighenan which is 957 metres. Had lunch on returning to the rucksacks then headed for Ben Starav, again leaving packs on the col. Then it was over Bheinn Mhor pitching at 163433 on the other side. Sunday: As it was raining continuously we had a short day walking to Loch Dochard and pitching at 218419 on the loch side.
