That Dyneema mesh is seriously nice stuff. The pack looks great!
Yeah, the area around the loch is boggy. There is a path of sorts that heads up towards the Bealach from the loch (marked on the map) to the Allt Coire Beithe, it comes and goes, then goes altogether. Basically just had to find the best way through the Kames? Until near the top. Definitely a tough slog no matter which way you go then
Thanks for the help. I'll be doing more route planning in the next few days so that's helpful I may well see if I can find a good route through Strath Farrar. It does look a nice Glen.
Yes, the mesh looks very good. I didn't order it specifically, so think it must now be standard. It is different from the mesh used in the stretch shoulder pockets.That Dyneema mesh is seriously nice stuff. The pack looks great!
@Charlie83 Yeah, that's pretty much the same route I went. I never crossed the Abhainn Bearnais but there was no hint of a path up there anyway. Basically just stayed under the cliffs until very close to the top. I stayed a little lower the first time and it was harder going. Can't say it was easy going either way but definitely easier staying higher 'til near the top.
Yeah, you must have it does fade in and out and as usual, when it's raining it just looks like a burn where it is more distinct but it is there.We must have crossed the path on our way (out and back) between the bothy and "cheesecake" but I don't remember seeing a path. Shrugs.
If I'm going that way again I'll bear that route in mind .
Some belting spots high in the glen for pitching up, the bit where i stopped for lunch at the Coirie beithe burn was outstanding, (helped by the fact the weather was roasting), if i was to do that route again i think i would cut across the top of the loch to Bearneas bothy and then go up and over one of the two high paths towards Craig (i think what your were thinking about doing)

Yeah there is, next time. It was getting late coming from Shiel Bridge to Bendrinaig already though so that was enough before the trudge up the glen. Next time
Yeah, I want to do the ridge on the north side of the glen, always worth looking at alternates if you're going again. The left fork avoids the road walk from Craig to Achnashellach if you're doing the Beinn Eighe alternate, which I'd highly recommend. It was probably my favourite section, although very tough going and pathless after the high point on the trail around the massif.
Is that a complete circuit of Hexpeak inners completed? I'm waiting for my Chinese one.A luxe Hexpeak V4a original 1p inner after getting rid of my chinese T zip 1p inner...
No I never had the Hexpeak original 1p inner and went straight for the chinese 1p T zip inner.Is that a complete circuit of Hexpeak inners completed? I'm waiting for my Chinese one.
Lightwave looks like interesting gear.Just received a new rucksack which remplaces my Deuter Act Lite, a Lightwave Ultrahike. I hope it will work well

A windshirt is negligible weight, considering the benefits of having one, to a lightweight layering system. I take mine on every trip even if I think I may not need it and it is one of the most used items of kit in my pack.Received today a Patagonia Houdini I got on sale. I don't bring a windshirt usually but I'd like to improve my clothing system...
