Postponed my walk here by a day as I didn't fancy a long drive through fog to get here. That decision worked out really well as I had few fog problems getting to the Wyvis car park.
Slightly soggy start to the ascent through damp vegetation and drizzly mist but it didn't take too long on the excellent path to get above the cloud top.
I was amazed by the apparent extent of the inversion and by the huge array of peaks visible on the horizon. They did not seem so far away as expected either, unless I was experiencing one of those atmospheric lens effects.
Didn't get to the summit for sunrise but Glas Leathad Beag would have obscured the effect I was looking for so no loss really and there was plenty besides that to occupy my eyeballs.
Pleasant stroll along the summit ridge followed by a diversion north for a peek into Coire Mor. Well worth the small amount of extra effort to get there but I didn't hang about with the sun already warming things up considerably.
Met a few folk on the descent and encountered the first midges of the day near the bottom.
Didn't take too long to emerge out of the slightly drizzly murk.
Little Wyvis and the moon catch the eye to the south west.
Some short rocky sections on the path.
The extent to which the view west takes in Ben Hope to the North to the hills west of Inverness is quite mind-boggling as is the unexpectedly extensive inversion, seemingly running from coast to coast.
It is an excellent path.
An Cabar.
The way ahead.
Deer on An t-Socach.
Coire Mor.
The awesome hill is also a cracking hill.
Back at the summit.
The inversion that seems to extend all the way to the west coast.
The mottled cloud generator.
Ready to descend.
