Today was the day after i'd did my final Munro and with the forecast being for rain in the afternoon i decided to head to Torridon to do Ben Damh. I started from the Torridon Inn where parking is allowed, turning right out of the entrance for the short walk up the road. Just after the bridge a path leads into Ben Damh Forest, which is followed to a marker cairn. Here you take the path to the right which leads to the col. The path then leads up the ridge to the summit, though disappears at some of the rocky sections. From the summit i headed down the north east ridge which was steep and rocky in places and would be better ascending the mountain this route rather than descending. Once down i made my way over to the path that leads back to Torridon, arriving back at the car before the rain came.
