Hello Walkhighlands,

I've been wanting to tackle Buachaille Etive Mor all year, but due to either bad weather or work commitments I couldn't manage up. That all changed on Monday, had holiday booked, weather looked great, it was well worth the wait !!!!!

Couldn't have asked for a better day, low lying fog in the morning, temperature was perfect for hiking, clear blue skies & views as far as the eye could see :D :D :D :D.

I'll not bore you with a long written trip report, I'll let the pictures do the talking, although I will sum up Buachaille Etive Mor in one word - TIMELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
