On the right route. |
Ben Hope getting closer. Almost had enough time to do this the same day as Ben Klibreck, but decided to take two days, and camp out another night. |
Ben Hope, from further up Strath More. |
And Ben Hope from the North - had some time to kill, so went in search of a pub. Had to go to Tongue! |
![]() Campsite with Ben Hope behind. This is the life (and no snow or ice today). |
Reasonable path at the bottom, heading over that ridge then into the mist. |
From top of the buttress looking back down into Strath Mor |
Impressive ice falls |
Views deteriorated! |
Had to watch out for the cliffs, and wait for the mist to clear enough to work out where to go |
Near the cliffs! |
![]() Summit cairn - views not quite what I had hoped for! |
A glimpse of the world below. I think that is the Atlantic Ocean out there. |
Sun shining brightly (elsewhere!) |
On the way down I had to rely on my compass, and only got wandered once! |
![]() And then back down the road (just five hours to go). This is Dun Dornaigil, a nice broch next to Ben Hope. |
