Stunning collection of sunrise photos. Love the first one too - just a hint of what was to come. Tantalising!! :D

Some of the nicest photos we have seen on this website, and the standard is generally very high :D

Foggie,I was just a few miles away from you on Friday. It was a corker of a day indeed :D
Didn`t see the sunrise but did watch the sunset over Wyvis from the top of Carn Chuinneag about 8 miles from where you were.

Great walk you had then. I was up there today. A bit hazy but otherwise a rather dry day with steady cloud cover and a mild NW wind which cooled the body.

I noticed a wee quarry at the bottom of Storr Leathan Image some start out climbers may like this.

A short video from near the summit. http://sdrv.ms/192Ej5P

I was unable to reach the summit of Beinn Tharsuinn due in part to some bloody horrid Peat Crags between the 2 summits but mainly due to time. I had to head back to the car.

Well worth the views. :clap:

Great pics. I was up there the other day. It's a tough walk for newbies like me. I was in bits but made it to the top after plenty of stops. I was really glad I took my bike after reading your review. It was a very quick retreat to the car. :clap:
