Beinn Damh (Corbett) Superb start to WH Meet

[The Rodmiester]

Very early starts for the three of us to ensure the completion before darkness. This was to be the start of the Autumn Meet of the Walkhighlands held in the wonderful area of Torridon and not a minute was to be wasted. Beinn Damh was the chosen hill and after a quick stop off for a bacon roll and drink near Garve it was straight off to the Torridon Inn car park where the walk starts. All booted up and ready to go we walked to the rear of the Inn where there are prominent signposts directing you over the A896 just beyond the bridge where there is also room for parking a couple of cars.

Still a good path exists well worn in places

A good dry path existed well into the walk

Cannot remember the joke

Many thanks ere1, more reports to follow soon, and hoping to announce the next WH meet sometime this week

Stunning scenery! I hope to be walking there next summer and the map tells me that many more visit will follow after that. The weather wasn’t too bad for you, it seems, at least on that day.

Yes Silverhill, you will love it in Torridon, spoilt for choice of hills to walks with low level walks in abundance as well
Slightly overcast with cloud coming and going at the summit but compared to what had been forecast, superb. Hope your staying a good few days when your there, but include this one, a wee cracker

It was a great start to the weekend Rod. I can't remember the joke either probably the pint or two we had after affecting my memory

That looks a really good day out Rod, another mountain to add to our ever growing list.
Torridon has a heck of a lot to offer, its a great place, just wish we were a wee bit closer.

Hi Martin nice to hear from you, a superb wee hill, and because we had little sle the night before we were richly rewarded with the day, wonderful area as you say, get up here soon

[BlackPanther]

I must visit BD again (the third time it would be for me)... Lucy hasn't been there yet so she insists

That looks a great hill to take the grandsons - must put it at top of my list.

Hi Dave it was good to have you along, it was well worth the early start. I note the photo was taken after coming off the actual summit, it's maybe got something to do with the pint you and Theresa earned at the Torridon Inn Clearer sky and all that.

Hi BP, it was good to finally meet up with you Kevin and Lucy at the weekend, we were really spoilt with the weather we got for the first three days. Yes your right a fine wee hill and worth another visit.

Good report there Rod,

Seems you all had a good time prior to the meet. Start of a busy weekend both hiking and socialising.
Must try to get it bagged next time in area.
