Lurcher’s Crag and the Gap

Creag an Leth-Choin 1053m

There was a lot more snow on the top than we thought there would be very softand up above our knees. I had never walked through the Chalamain gap before it was smaller and narrower than i expected but also more rocky. We walked over Creag an Leth-choin (Lurcher’s Crag) and down Miadan Creag an Leith-choin to the ski centre and then down the path to the sugar bowl car park. we have thought about cycling down there but never had and noticed that the forestry have put sign saying no cycling.
