17 days expedition with 13 Graham summits climbed. 4 nights in B&B or hotels. Virtually no rain, with just a tiny amount of light drizzle once or twice. Plenty of sun and high cloud. Evanton in Easter Ross explored on bike with two nights at Novar Arms Hotel. Grahams above and beyond Loch Glass.
Ullapool looked around and very helpful Tourist Information office that agreed with me over Argocat Avenger ATV ripping up vegetation to expose peat and release carbon dioxide. Rectractable biro/stylus for phone bought from Tesco, Inverness and £44 cycling trousers from Mountain Warehouse.
Twisting, serpentine route to climb the Graham with its tabletop summits so well seen from Ullapool, where you also see the mass of the Coigach trio of summits that look so forbidding and like a 7 Kms massive, impenetrable, high wall of rock. I did two in eight hours from a poor starting point of Blughasary in Strath Canaird.
Met Michael Brown of Edinburgh on the third Coigach Graham, the next day. Consultant and previously of Delta-EE in Edinburgh.
