Sgorr nan Lochan Uaine and Sgurr Dubh
![]() |
| After a day up Beinn Damh
I had a wee hike part way up the
path to find a spot to camp for the night before tackling these
hills.
Went a little further than planned, but that was fine. Had hoped
for a second night out in the tent, but the midgies made it too
unpleasant! |
Leaving the Coire Dubh Mor car park, once I had found the right path. Liathach behind, looking a little cloudy. |
Pitched and getting attacked by the midge. Not quite as wet as last week's campsite. |
The next morning the view looked much the same. |
![]() This is not the recommended route, I followed a really good path for too long! |
A bit cloudier than I had hoped, but a good path to follow. |
Think that's Beinn Laith Mhor sticking up there? |
The path to Beinn Laith Mhor was so good I nearly went up the wrong hill, and had to contour back a mile or so to get back on track. |
![]() Heading up the right hill, if from the wrong angle. |
The way I probably should have come, looking out to Upper Loch Torridon |
Yesterday's hill in the middle. And Lochan Uaine now below me - not looking that green to be honest. |
Not much at the top |
And not much of a view from the top either. |
And that's where I am off to next - Sgurr Dubh. Interesting rocky landscape up here. |
Looking back to Sgorr nan Lochan Uaine |
The easy way up. |
![]() Summit is up there somewhere. |
Another look back to the last hill |
![]() Wee lochan on the final leg. |
![]() Made it. Last hill now under a touch of cloud on the left, and looking a long way off! Yesterday's hill in the middle in the distance, Upper Loch Torridon on the right. Time to relax and take it all in. |
Retracing my steps back down a bit. |
Pretty butterfly - there were loads of these around. |
Farewell hills. |
Very tame stag at the car park, so I had to take a picture, it insisted. |
