We started our walk on a small path leading up from the car park through a Caledonian pine wood. We then turned on to a track that led us up to a hydro station, when we were subsequently eaten alive by clegs. Then we left the track behind and into a bog we went – I’m not sure if it counts as a path when your nearly up to your shins in peaty water. Luckily we soon were out of the path and onto the ascent of Tom a Choinich. It was an easy climb to the top were we weren’t greeted with a view as we had hoped but the inside of a cloud. We had lunch on the top but left quickly due to how cold it is to sit in a cloud. We climbed of the top, nearly walking of the wrong direction but we got back on track. We reached the bealach in minuets. Toll creagach is shaped a bit like a whales back so that when you are climbing it you feel more like your doing a long walk than climbing a mountain. When we finally reached the top we were treated to a pretty nice view. There was no path of the top of toll meaning we had to walk through very lumpy heather nearly twisting my ankle many times. There were some big birds and we then realised that they were eagles. We came back onto the path at the hydro station and were eaten alive by clegs again. Finally we arived back at the car park with very sore feet.
