We visit Lochinver on a regular basis and ,I suppose,have taken the view of Canisp and Suilven a tad for granted. Climbed them both on the same day 4 years ago in pleasant sunny weather, well at the start ! Later a wall of cloud boiled over Inverpolly and I beat a hasty retreat ,just in time - rain like
string 
Woke up took the dog for a walk and had brekkie. My wife pulled me away from the window and pointed to my bag and said ' Stop drooling and beat it
' She's a nice woman
This was the view from our little chalet/cabin,
So she dropped me off at the Ledmore path down by the harbour for the beginning of a very pleasant walk indeed. Birds twittering, fish jumping and me disturbing it all with out of tune singing- don't care I was like a 'pig in proverbial'
A couple of views on the way,
It was a cracker of a day to saunter along. Reached the footbridge and walked along with a couple of German tourists who were not so sure of climbing such a monument. Reasured them, but to no avail, so off over the bog -trot. Skirting the Lochan and heading for the winding path to the Bealach.
A tad windier up at the Bealach, but the view were nice,
Through the gap in the wall and upwards, with another little stop for this,
I am thinking my wife knows me well, she knows I need to be happy
I am not happy today, just
bloody delerious Here's why, Inverpolly in all it's glory,
By this time Doogz has photos bounced at him at a rate of knots, not in a bad way, he would have been like a wag-tail puppy up here
I had been there for an absolute age on the summit, sponging in the suuuuuuuuperb, Doogz agreed, vista played out before me. A bloody natural miracle to me, de-bloody-lited
I was not alone on the summit though, another delighted person joined me and we shook hands and chatted for a time- in between photographical frenzies
He was,from his accent, of antipodean extraction with a brilliant story. the day before he had headed up from Inverkirkaig,but thought it to late to climb and make it down so just went to his hotel- do it tomorrow! Indeed he did, he borrowed a boat and tied it up under Suilven and just walked up
He told me he has used this site before when planning routes, so a big hello to the
Suilven Boatman ,
Hi Neil. If you read this post some of your pics, your camera was a tad better than mine
A wonderful day out, heading back for some dinner with friends later in the evening.I thought the day couldn't get better, but I was wrong,
Bingo,
Lochinver Bay
