First thought about doing these 2 along with Foinaven, but very glad we'd done that the day before and in splitting sunshine too 8) Clouds rolling past in the corries for this one, but summits clear. Nice ridge on Arkle, with cool 'stepping stones' along the way (big gaps in the rock, but easlily stepped over - wouldn't be good for the winter though as snow would hide these!). Big boulder field coming off Arkle then Horn was mainly grassy with some peat hags. Good views back to Foinaven and other surrounding hills 8) :D Scoob's report - video, route and stats :clap:
Camped at Durness again and went to Cape Wrath next day instead of going for northerly Corbett pair - leave that for the next trip :wink:
