Bha sinn a fhalbh a 'ribhist aig an Deireadh Seachdain agus air Didómhaich a ribhist cuidheachd !!
and the weather ?.... wet and just damn poor altogether but we hacked in to Ceann Loch Liobhan for 9am and were off up the path by 9.10am
Jesus they like their paths in Ceann Loch in the woods there are paths gu leor ,so after walking in circles for a wee while in and amongst the woods n cooncil houses we were at the bottom of the stalkers path up to Sgurr Eilde Mor and our first target Binnien Beag
Anyway no much to see for the Ceó
- Ceann Loch Liobhan
It was that fine West Coast drizzle that only the Gaidhealtachd can produce and its a long haul into Binnien right enough i found it a wee bit tiring
In Gaelic this is "Mossach" weather ....
- Binnein Beag agus an rathad anns a sgoth is an t uisge
Uill bha sealltainn againnsa idir an frasachan ..... wee views between showers and hill ceó and after what seemed like a good while we were at the bottom of Binnein Beag
- An Binnein Beag ..tioram !
Although "an cú" decided to head to Sgurr Eilde Mor in pursuit of the Monarch which cost me a good 15 mins whistling and hollering
- dona a bhalaich !
Suas an druim and she is a sleamhag route very skittery and loose clachair she should be called Binnein Carnoch ..the stony one
We were soon on the Mhullach and had a bit of lunch in the cold wind but the water was off at this point
Well what to do i kinda thought about scrambling up the Sron a Garbh Coire but knowing its meaning and given the ceó i decided to retrace back to the bealach and up the side of Sgurr Eilde Beag
- Sron an Garbh Coire
Needed the ice axe to cut steps to the ridge (NE Coirean) for about 50 metres only snow left up there though
From there on in the weather closed in not a day for dealbhan !
- Ceo is an t uisge
Tha an druim "Airy" and it would be a good viewpoint in good conditions still we enjoyed the ridge and took a fair few bearings to double make sure there was no wandering in the wrong direction
By three o'clock ish we had the three in the bag and by this time it was pretty fluich / wet
- The last Mam Mor Na Gruagaichean
Tha e a'cruadal a dol sios ..... its hard going down the coire to Ceann Loch Liobhan and a wet n denuded place indeed i was glad to see the car after plotting a route through the woods of many paths above the village
So tha sin e ..... the last of the Mam Mor ..... all bagged .. a long and tiring day ..still worth the casan goirt though
Mar sin leibh an drasda
