Sunrise in Torridon - Great views from Beinn Alligin
Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2015 2:38 pm
The forecast of very good visibility and clouds free tops was good reason to go to Torridon again. Despite the distance, all the driving time and the fact that I need to be back home in the afternoon I was looking forward to go there...Torridon is really such a beautiful and special place and if the weather forecast is promising I did not want miss the opportunity of clear views...
Destination chosen and the selection of mountains was easy: Beinn Eigh done already, Liathach keeping for longer day so Beinn Alligin looked like the right one for the limited-shorter time in a week day
Prepared all my mountains stuff, information about Beinn Alligin and also some spare routes in different areas just in case of plan B or C, I set alarm for 01:00 am. I left home about 02:15 am and drove to the North...It's my usual time for my early morning's trips, usually I'm ok also driving the long distance after very short sleeping time, but this time I felt really sleepy during my way... Stopped many times for some short refreshing exercise outside of my car...By the reason I got to the car park around 07:15 am, 30-40 mins later than expected On the positive side daylight just started slowly, no darkness like in the case of arriving earlier
I parked my car at the empty car park - nobody else crazy like me and then I started my walk at 07:24 am used the narrow nice path on the West side of the bridge and my plan was do the circle incl. the Horns clock-wise.
