Clockwise round of the Brothers Ridge from the parking area off the small road East of the Cluanie Inn. Set off on bike down the A87 at 8am and was lucky to only have one car need to pass me - was locking the bike up at Glen Shiel car park by 8:20am and starting the leg burster up to Bealach na Lapain. Great views on the ascent, but low cloud meant limited views on the ridge, until the final munro. Total time from car-back-to-car = 5h 54minmproudfoot01/05/2022
