Another 2 in the Clag Buachaille Etive Mor
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2015 10:26 pmAfter being away with work for 10 days it was a great feeling to set of for the hills 
the forecast was to be good so that would be a bonus as well
I set of early with my walking partner Jake (my dog
) to do Buachaille Etive Mor
stopped to take a pic over Loch Ba on the way there
Reaching The Buachaille it seemed that the early morning clag was clearing
as I was wearing approach shoes there was not gearing up at Altnafeadh
so it was on over the bridge toward Lagangarbh and on with the ascent
I gained height rapidly due to the nice steep ascent
Getting near the top of Coire na Tulaich the clag was now starting to move in again
When I reached the top of the Coire and looked left toward Stob Daerg things did not look good
the Clag was now pretty thick toward the summit
Getting to the summit there was fleeting glimpses through the clag
as it was being blown along on a fairly stiff breeze
So with the Clag going nowhere I took a few pics and decended and started the ridge walk
over toward Stob na Doire ,now at this point the rain came on and it was being driven
horizontally by the wind (weather forecasters
)
Summit of Stob na Doire
Noting the cairn marking the descent I made my way over the ridge and quickly reached the
summit of Stob na Brioge and the views were none existant here as well
I had not stopped for a drink or bite to eat and decided I would when I reached Laraig Gartain
so made my way back to the cairn at the top of Coire Altruim
A look back up Coire Altruim
Reaching Larig Gartain it was now time for a sit down and lunch ,now the rain went off
and it looked like it was brightening up as well sods law I guess ( or just my luck
)
refreshed I set off along the path back to Altnafeadh
Looking up to Stob Coire Raineach things looked a lot better now
And over toward Stob Dearg the sun was shining
Well in the words of Arnie i'll be back
only I don't thick my walking partner will be doing Curved Ridge
