Day 6. Meanach bothy to Uisge Labhair, (Corrour)
It was a beautiful sunny morning again with no wind and no midges so as I was in no hurry today I did a bit of proper camping and sat outside the tent eating porridge and enjoying the sunshine.

| Ready to go |
I wrenched my knee a bit yesterday when I slipped, it gave me no trouble at the time but I noticed it a bit today so was quite happy with the short walk.
 |
| The Abhainn Rath |
It was beautiful walking down the Abhainn Rath even the boggy bits were nearly dry! there was no wind at all and the temperature climbed rapidly.
 |
| Loch Treig |
Loch Treig was like a mirror, no ripples at all, and looked amazing. The climb up the track then path to Corrour station was extremely hot but the thought of the nice resteraunt here kept me going.

| Corrour Station |
I spent two hours in the restaurant and managed three pots of tea, spoke to some Challengers, charged up the phone, ate a sandwich and wrote up the blog.
 |
| Loch Ossian |
A useful stop, it had also clouded over and there was a breeze from the east so walking out to and along Loch Ossian was much more pleasant.
 |
| Track by Loch Ossian |
Loch Ossian has to be one of the most beautiful places in Scotland and apart from a few midges when in the shelter of the trees was a lovely walk.
 |
| Looking back to Loch Ossian |
After Corrour Lodge I went up by the Uisg Labhair, first by a new (to me) hydro track to a small dam and then the path.
 |
| Camp by the Uisg Labhair |
It looked as though it was thinking of raining as I picked a camp spot by the river (one of many possibilities in this area) but brightened up later and there was a warm sun until it disappeared behind the hill.

| El Tejido sunbathing |
15 miles walked. 600 meters ascent.
