Ten of us were staying at Mol Mor, the NTS Torridon property, for a long weekend. However, the weather was not being kind. Indeed, on Saturday, it was particularly foul: cloud down to loch-level and a cold driving rain. It was nice and cosy in the cottage but someone (I got the blame for this) suggested that we take on the local Graham AnRuadh-mheallan despite the awful conditions. Three brave (stupid) souls decided to take on the hill. There are no photos of the day because there was nothing to see -apart from swirling cloud and rain - and, besides, our hands, even gloved, were too cold to hold a camera. Yes, it was mid-August! We parked in a good space at the high point of the road to Diabaig and aimed for Loch nan Tri-eileanan (appropriately named). There was a lot of up and down over extremely wet and rough ground and it seemed to take an inordinate amount of time to reach this loch. From here, the going got even worse as we headed for the small lochan at 834611, before skirting round to the east to avoid the worst of the crags. We did find quite an easy grassy gully which led up to the summit plateau and the highest point was obvious and easy to find but there was no lingering - it was straight back down out of the worst of the conditions. The one leading the way out veered a bit too much to the south west (I got the blame for this, too -quite rightly) and we ended up on the west side of Loch nan Tri-eileanan, from where we floundered about a bit before we hit the road 50 metres south of the car. Not a day to savour for the views but one to remember for the mad laughter and the sheer bloody-mindedness.
