19th. July, 1975:
With a couple of Munros behind us, Beinn Eighe was the next objective on a ten day trek from Killilan to Ullapool – an easier objective than it is these days because, in 1975, the mountain consisted of only one Munro.

A visit to the main summit of Ruadh-stac Mor was accomplished with indecent haste (up the scree, along the ridge and back to the tents) before we settled down for a night of wind and rain.
