Bla Bheinn - Hiro S'tu Horo Eile

[Collaciotach]

Disathairne agus tarsuinn an drochaid gu an t Eilean Sgiathanaich

An toisich

Bha an t side sgothaich ach tioram agus toisich sinn aig an geata faisg an rathad. Tha an slighe math agus bha sinn a dh 'aithgearr aig an clach mor anns a Coire

Clach Oscar

An Stac

Thug sinn an rathad cearr a shuas agus a' dh 'aithgearr air a deas mhullach ..... ann an sgoth

Clach Liath

Co dhui bha sinn a shuidhe aig an carn air a deas mhullach anns a ceo airson fichead mionaidean ....... a' fuirich airson a cheo gu tog

Agus ? .... bha e a 'thogail

A thogail

Ann an aithghearrachd air a mhullach Bla Bheinn ...ceart

abair sealltadh

Amhraic ......

Bealach

Bealach Garbh Bheinn

Sleibhte

A 'deas

Bha an sgoth is ceo a 'fhalbh an drasda ach beagan air a 'Cuillthionn fh'athast

An Cuillthionn

Seallteadh math gu na h eileanan beaga agus Saoigh ......

Na h eileanan

Eilean nam Ban Mora agus Rum

Agus An Cuillthionn a ribhist , Deas cuideachd

A Deas

An Cuillthionn

Strath Aird

Sin agad e ! .... Bla Bheinn agus an Canan ? ........ Gaidhlig

There is an old saying in Gaelic "Cha bhi fios aire math an tobair gus an tràigh e" translates as "you don't know what you have till its gone"

This is our country , we tilled it , named it in our language and its beauty is unsurpassed

Bla Bheinn

and we the Gaidheal hang on at its edge yet ...

An Ghille dubh

An tir an canan s 'na daoine

Glad it cleared up for you, Colla - now I see the impressive views I missed
Regret to say that I didn't understand most of your narrative and Google translation didn't really help though I would agree with your English translated sentiments near the end - cheers

Glé mhath gu dearbh. Bha mise air Garbh-bheinn agus Belig anns a cheò an dé cuideachd.

Did you meet two guys from Orkney? I overtook them going up by Allt na Dunaiche on my way to Coire a’ Càise. Report to follow!

So happy you got the views - no place on earth like it IMHO. Great report and photos. Wish I could write Gaelic as well as you!

[AnnieMacD]

PS Did you leave a dog water bowl beside you vehicle? If so, I was parked right by you

[Collaciotach]

Tha gu dearbh .... Aye indeed you have the Audi ?

[dooterbang]

Stunning photos.

Good day oot for a young un

[AnnieMacD]

Tha gu dearbh .... Aye indeed you have the Audi ?

No, I had the BMW just up from you!

[Collaciotach]

That's the one no good at cars , all I see is four wheels

Great report and pictures - thanks for posting, now I can see what I missed last year when I climbed Bla Bheinn in the rain and low cloud. Will have to go back.

Oh the views how lovely! You had an amazing day for it. We might not know what we have until its gone...but at least the mountains will always be there

[Beaner001]

Wonderful, i really enjoyed that. Am i right in thinking you are a former Highlander by your location, apologies my Gaelic is almost non existant, well apart from what i've picked up watching the football on BBC Alba!!

[dogplodder]

Good photos and better views than we got from the top!

[johnkaysleftleg]

Some great views from my favorite mountain, we climbed Marsco on the same day but were well on our way down by the time it cleared up. Wish I could understand a bit more Galic

[Johnny Corbett]

Good stuff Colla it's a fine mountain though i found it tough after the Cuillins. It was one i considered for leaving till last but the weather was too good to head home on the Friday.
