Peanmeanach Bothy Paradise

[mountainstar]

I was going to post some photos on "Been walking lately? want to share some photo's" of this trip but there are too many pictures to share there. So here is a brief report on what you Bothy virgins could be missing....you cannot beat a Bothy night by the fire with friends.
It's a good path to the Bothy, but it is steep in places with a heavy pack, but the rewards outweigh the pain
Once at the Bothy we combed the beach for driftwood to compliment the coal we had carried in, then had a wander along the coast. The mist and low cloud came in before sunset, so we retired for a night of much merriment and music from our guitar playing hero Alan Ross, who had carried a guitar in for our entertainment.
The next morning we awoke to clear skies...a real magic morning
The walk out was a pleasure, with views up high out to Egg and Rum.
Thanks to Keith, Carol, Janet, Alan and Ele for making it a great trip.

It was bad enough missing the bothy action without knowing what I'd missed.

I seem to recall you missed a fair bit of the Bothy action last time....
