We had waited for really good weather to tackle Beinn Eighe, Roger had climbed Beinn Eighe as a teenage (about 55 years earlier) in poor weather so for him the views at least would be new. We left the canine part of the team at home, the Beinn Eighe ridge is too dry for black dogs on a hot day, and the scree doesn't treat their paws too kindly. So we followed the Walkhighlands route, chatted to some interesting people and had a wonderful day. The weather was if anything too hot - by the end of the day I was beginning to feel the effects of too much sun (well I'm acclimatised to the north of Scotland - what can you expect
Roger was elated that he could still do the route he'd first done as a teenager now he was in his late 60's a true achievement

Summit pose
The scree shute down which I made a very slow and careful descent - but was it so slow because I was expecting it to be difficult, would it have been easier if I didn't know what to expect?
