Maol Luinneadh, Moruisg

19 miles, 1690m ascent, 10 hours

Another long and breezy day which started with a steep ascent up from the river.  Like the previous day's it was unrelenting but didn't seem as long.  Once on the plateau we entered the mist, but it didn't take long to drop down to a track descending to the valley.  We had a spot of lunch in the sunshine by some ruins, before the steep ascent up the zig zags toward Moruisg.  Playing games saw us up this top, then we could enjoy the fine ridge to the demoted Munro which we duly bagged in strong wind and later rain.  All that  remained was to pack up the tent and walk out to our car for a welcome bit of comfort at the Aultguish bunkhouse.
