Day 6
Wednesday 11th May - Laggan to Allt Bhran
Mike and young Owen set off slightly ahead of me from the camp at the Monadhliath on morning 6, in the same direction. They took the opposite two sides of a quadrilateral to me, and were puzzled to come upon me sitting on a rock eating lunch, ahead of them! We walked on together, over a rough bit of cross-country to upper Glen Tromie and up the Allt Bhran, where I had intended to camp that night anyway and was happy to find Max and Trine and a Caithness Challenger called Francis already installed. The other two marched determinedly on towards Glen Feshie, despite Mikes Achilles' tendon injury which was really quite worrying, especially when he aggravated it by twisting his foot in a hole in late afternoon.
How pleasant to camp in sunshine - the weather was definitely on the up, and encouraged an early start for all.
