Went with Tom and Christine. A beautiful sunny clear day with no wind, stunning views all day. Cool in the glen in the morning with some frost but it warmed up in the sun. Some frost on the rocks going up Beinn Dearg so had to take our time since it was very slippery.
Saw red deer, ptarmigan, ravens, buzzards and a bird in one of the lochs with a white chest (diver). Incredible views all around to Assynt. An Teallach, Fisherfields, Torridon, Fanaichs, Seana Bhraigh and beyond - beautiful autumn lighting. Heard stags roaring, saw an estate vehicle with a stag from stalking back at the car park. Fantastic day in a brilliant area with amazing weather :D
