On arrival this spectacular wee hill could not have been any less spectacular. To say I was a little disappointed would be an understatement given my visit to Ben Arthur was also enshrouded in the same none spectacular Scotch Mist just 3 days previous.
I had driven here like a man possessed in the hope of getting to the top and seeing many magnificent views so had to make a decision to go or not? looking around I could see rather a few others wondering the same. Given that I had been to the top of Ben Arthur and deciding on that occasion to leave the summit with all its mist to get back to the car only to look back and see the mist starting to clear I decided that will not happen again. So lets go for it. I started off up the path

After a while I met 2 lovely German girls who said they actually lived in Bavaria

I was getting really excited at this point and as the girls decided they were going for it I followed along taking snaps every now and again. Eventually losing the girls as they hoofed along out of site.
I caught up with the girls again round the back of Stac Pollaidh. They were standing there looking at me and saying its a lot worse up here. Poor souls looked terrified and all I could do was tell them about my experience with Ben Arthur on the Saturday before. I'm going all the way I said!
Every now and again teased by a faint glimpse of what could be
I knew there was not very far to go and eventually made the Saddle
I did a wee bit of wondering around. It was actually very enjoyable. After a little while other walkers arrived and we all got chatting. I met A couple from Australia and several Scottish folks. One guy who had finished all the Munro's just last year.
And then! out of the blue as if by magic the mist started to clear
A little while later: I could now see my route that had taken me up this magnificent little hill
The next hour to hour and a half were lost on me completely. I found myself exploring all there is to see and do on this we hill. Many people came and went during my time up here but I wanted more. Much More!
Eventually the mist cleared and you could make out the car park




All in all an exceptionally brilliant day on Stac Pollaidh and an adventure I will almost certainly enjoy again some day.
