Very warm with no wind, a bit hazy but great views of the Torridon hills, lochs and out over the sea. Fantastic rock formations and great fun scrambling over the horns. Impressive corries going along the ridge and Eag Dubh gap. Cloudy but some sunny spells which lit up the mountains.
Met a guy camping on Sgurr Mhor - brilliant location! Saw pipits, a wheatear and had a very close encounter with two young ptarmigan coming down from the horns (1 male and 1 female). Nice walking back beside the river and through the trees.
