Beinn Elegant

Well ofcourse, everything's elegant after two cold, spiky, here and there a tat dangerous, long and boggy walks.

But even without those parameters Beinn Alligin is a great and interesting walk, even more so than it's silhouet from the roadside suggests. I was happy enough to apparantly still have some brownie points after formentioned two adventures. Plus the day was excellent for it, perfect weather but with an early start we were still the only two people on this mountain untill the second summit. Hot sun, lights breeze, fantastic views but a little ache in my heart knowing this will be the last Scottish mountain for another year.
From the 3rd horn it's downhill on a clear but steep path, descending the terrace southflank of Sgurr Mor. In the Abhainn Coire Mhic Nobuil I took my time for a refreshing skinny dip, but for viewers discretion (or is it because I already posted the maximum of 25 photos?) I won't post any proof of that. Just a classic view from close to the carpark
