It wasnt a particularly nice day, with only a 10% chance of cloud free munros according to MWIS. So we settled for the mountain trail on Ben Eighe on the off chance we might get some good views of the ridge.
BEWARE! This route, although nicely constructed in parts, is really not for the faint hearted. The majority of the way is very steep and although you only climb to 560m it is tough going. If the rock is wet, like it was today, the quartzite is almost like ice. There was much staggering, swearing and bum-shuffling. Just as well we had the route to ourselves. En route my camera decided to give up on life, much to my distress, and so i was left with the iPhone for piccies. Hence the crap quality.
Slioch looking rather prime.
Aye they're nae kidding.
Some nice waterfalls as you walk through the pines.
Going gets a bit steeper out of the woods. About as nice as it looks!
The aptly titled 'Lunar Loch'
A camera can never do this sort of setting justice.
The dreaded clag. Leg it!
