Ben More Assynt, Conival

13.5 miles, 1430m ascent, 7 hours 45 mins

Alison dropped us off by the Bone Caves and we didn't hang around as it was midgy.  The Bone Caves were fantastic and provided shelter from the rain.  Both Ben and I had fun crawling through the passage from one cave to another, then it was into the rain for the ascent of Breabag, a bonus Corbett for me.  The ground between here and Ben More Assynt is very rough with boulder strewn slabs and no clear path - its wonderfully wild.  It was no surpise that we saw no-one until descending Conival.  Due to arriving early for the bus back to Lochinver we got eaten alive by the midges and in the end managed to hitch back.
