I think it's Coire na Reinich on Carn Dearg in Glen Roy - but the waterfall to the right wasn't there last year :lol: :lol:

Clue: the photo was taken from the less popular side of a very boggy mountain...

A wider panorama from higher up the boggy hill. Clue: you're looking due north.

Struggled with this one for ages. Vague recollections of my route north down Beinn na Lap crossing the allt then up via Creag Tharsuinn and Meall Garbh to get to Stob Coire Sgriodain and Chno Dearg but can't find a photo to match - are you on Beinn na Lap looking north towards Chno Dearg ?

That's the very place, RH, I'm glad someone got it eventually :lol:

The corrie is called Creagan Coire nan Cnamh on 1-25k map. I guess most people pop in to BnL from Corrour side and pay little attention to views :wink:
