Ben Loyal - the most north-easterly corbett.
![]() Early morning cloud almost guaranteed to lift by midday! Walk in over roads and bogs. |
![]() That's my hill on the right |
![]() View back to the north. |
![]() Okay, so cloud not shifting much, but pressed on through the bog. |
![]() No longer amused. |
![]() Wreckage of the Handley-Page Hampden bomber which crashed here in the summer of 1943. |
![]() Getting steeper, lost the path, and still the cloud lingered. |
![]() A lump of rock - Sgor Chaonasaid. What a view. Orkney, Tongue and all points north! |
![]() More up to go then. |
![]() Summit tor I think. Hard to tell! |
![]() Yep, that is the top. |
![]() Pretty exciting? |
![]() Another view of the top, and some cliffs. |
![]() Hung about for a while hoping for some sort of view, so took a picture of the sun in this puddle. |
![]() Eventually I gave up and headed down. This was the first bit of visibility. Passed loads of people heading up. Lucky them. |
![]() More wreckage. |
![]() And as I came down the clouds lifted. Nice view north to Tongue. |
![]() And the cloud lifts. Jings that looks a bit scarier than I thought it was. Sgor a' Bhatain behind maybe? |
![]() The further away I got the better the day! |
![]() Been there, done that, saw nothing. |
![]() And another view, from outside Tongue |
![]() And from further down the road. Good hill, but hard going in the mist. |
