Allt Shallainn The upper region of the Allt Shallainn, a seldom visited area lying to the south of the Munros Sgairneach Mhor and Beinn Udlamain. The river system here (Allt Shallainn > Allt Feith Gharuiareagan > Allt an Sgailean) offers a relatively easy passage from Loch Garry to Loch Ericht in the absence of any paths or tracks.

Summit of Glas Meall Mòr A view from the summit of Summit of Glas Meall Mòr, with the course of the Allt Shallain - my return route - visible in the centre of the image. After several days of hot weather much of the ground - usually bog - is now tinder dry, and the upper region of many watercourses have completely dried out.

Moorland north of Loch Monaidh Featureless terrain north of Loch Monaidh. Walking here is extremely difficult due to a labyrinth of peat hags - it's like being hit by the waves of an immobile sea. I watched red deer moving across the same moorland with speed and grace in contrast to my efforts - they are superb athletes.
