Complicated logistics entail a stop at the Sligachan Hotel to drop the biggest bag, and make sure nothing is left that we might need on the Ridge. then bus to Elgol and the fast launch over to Coruisk, where we erect a small tent to act as a base. Here we rest a while and eat apples before starting off up the sides of Gars Bheinn. We have snatched our opportunity to try the ridge as the weather forecast is good, and at the moment the sun is hot.

As we ascend we get wonderful views of our objective, and also down into the uninhabited wilds of Coruisk
We are nearly at our spring where we intend to collect all the water we will need for our bivvi and the whole day on the Ridge tomorrow.
