 Car parked at the Strontian junction, time to head off |
|
 First view of the start of the hill, but it is so much further. |
|
 At least we can see the South Top here. |
 Time to leave the bike, some 6km up the track. Only another 4.5km to go. Looking back down Glen Fionnlighe. |
 After a bit of an "unrelenting and uniformly steep" climb, looking back down the glen again. |
|
 And here are the South Top, and
the summit itself off in the distance.
|
|
 Trig point on the Southern Top, with the real summit behind. Not as far as it looks! |
 Back down the Glen again. |
 To the west, Sgurr Thuilm and Sgurr nan Coireachan |
 And Ben Nevis and Aonach Mhor to the South East |
 Looking back along the ridge to the South Top |
 Finally, the summit cairn, and a view into the distance - is that it! |
 And here is the view
to the South East, Ben Nevis
on the right, and Aonach Mhor
to her left. Some more Grey Corries in there too, and off to the
mid-left perhaps the Loch
Trieg hills? This is what I came for. |
|
 A better view of Sgurr Thuilm from the summit, with the cloud beginning to roll up the glens |
 To the south, nothing really very interesting, but a good view all the same. Or maybe that was the North? |
 Oh the futility, now I need to retrace my steps all the way back to the car, over that South Top. |
|
Another view of the Ben, with
Loch Eil to the right.
|
|
 Nevis looked much the same as I drove by it on my way home. |
