A light refreshment as we gathered in FA the night before
Getting ready to head up the hill, from the handily named Ben Wyvis Car Park
Starting to climb, looking back to the West, with Loch Glascarnoch in the middle, the Fannichs to the left, and the (apparently named) Ullapool hills on the right
Great path making uphill progress swift.
Looking South to Tom na Callich and Little Wyvis
A long, steep, snowy and icy ascent.
At An Cabar at last. Now the mile and half over the broad top to the trig point summit.
No views up here at all
Sun trying to break through
Summit trig point just visible above the snow.
All at once the clouds are parted, Light streams down in bright unbroken beams
Follow men's eyes as they look to the skies, The shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams
The view
Alas as ever the time comes to head back down.
Jackets off as the temperature rises
 And relax, play the bass.... |  ... and relax. |
