Sue and Roger climbed Carn Ghlusaid and its two neighbours.
Tom went up two Munros at the eastern end of the north Glen Shiel ridge.
David supervised the removal of his damaged car by way of a low loader, then went for a local walk.
Early morning rain had subsided before Julie, Mike and I drove to Dornie to set off up the breast of 414 metre Beinn a'Mheadhoin. There was a nice view across Loch Long (above).
Whilst this hill is modest in height it punches above its weight. The gnarly summit ridge looks challenging from below.
It wasn't long until we had good views back past Dornie.
The Bell Heather is showing off in vibrant dark red clumps just now.
Julie and I made it to the top before a brief squall saw me diving down to a sheltered spot while Julie waited for Mike, who had got a little directionally confused.
There were good views from our sheltered lunch spot.
After a fairly lengthy break we headed off towards a lochan, passing it near Julie's head and taking a right turn from there.
Eventually we reached a 'path' beside or in the River Glennan. This is the view of our onward route after reaching the 'path' which criss-crossed the river, getting wider every time thanks to side streams.
Intermittent showers visited us as we soldiered our way back to Dornie, crossing the river several times.
This may be a small hill, but after 10km of pathless yomping it had Mike complaining that the walk was harder than the much higher Munro summit that had been his target yesterday.
Here's our route- 11km with 450 metres ascent, which took us nearly all of 6 hours.
Meanwhile, Sue and Roger were enjoying the paths that led to their Munro summits.
