No, Knoydart has lots of Munros whereas this walk just had one Graham. That's a Corbett across the loch.

Nobody's within 50 miles so far - need to head north.

Nobody? Here's the hazy view from the top of the hill, looking in the opposite direction to the first photo. We walked from the road end, over the hill, out to the village (primary school, wind turbines, old lighthouse now a museum), then back along the coast path in the first pic.

Checking my maps, it must be Scoraig. Going over Beinn Ghobhlach, with Sàil Mhòr across the loch.
Its on my list of places to visit sometime...

I was wondering about Eriboll

It is indeed the path to Scoraig, recently featured in the national press as the school advertised for a new teacher. Got the hills right as well.

Where is this new cycle route?

Re: The "guess the place" thread

The Cycle path between Laggan and Fort Augustus? If it is I hope the surface I good because it was hard going in May.

Yes, that's it. The path along the old railway by Loch Oich.
Its now surfaced with compacted gravel, so all fairly smooth, easy enough on a sensible tourer or hybrid.

Those leaves look very like Banksia, but the flower is all wrong.

Lincs. Horncastle to Kirkstead (Spa Trail). Last time I rode out there was through the middle of Lincoln up what seemed like an endless bloody hill.

Just round the corner from Bywater Street, so very convenient for George Smiley - who'd probably also have been able to work it out from the 'krc' in the image filename  ;)
