Ben Lui and Beinn a'Chleibh - 12/12/01 - An extra couple of hills before Christmas

(and a superb day to boot)

A dark start, waiting for the sun

Ben Lui ahead

First sitting of Stob Diamh (Ben Cruachan range).

And there is the Cruachan in full glory, from half way up Ben Lui

Beinn a'Chleibh (and Cruachan in the background, right).

At last, the top.  Ben More and Stob Binnien in the far distance.

Look, there's Ben Cruachan again!

Looking North from the top, from Ben Challum on the right, past Beinn Dorain and across to Stob Ghabar on the left somewhere

And a view to the East.  Ben Oss, then Beinn Dubhcraig to the left.  Behind that is Ben More and Stob Binnien.  Just brilliant!!

King of the hill!

The shoulder of Beinn a'Chleibh (on the way there) with Cruachan again in the distance

Looking back at Ben Lui from Beinn a'Chleibh

Look, you can see Cruachan from the top of Beinn a'Chleibh too!

Ben Lui.  Ben Cruachan not pictured

Hills in the sun

More hills in the sun,  Beinn Bhuidhe is in there somewhere

Look, Ben Cruachan and Loch Awe

At last, a view of the Cruachan hills and the Strath of Orchy

And a final view of Ben Lui, and river which has to be waded through to get there.

And that is most definitely it for another year.
