Quinag seen across Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin (close to Unapool)
A quick shot on the way north in the slowly deepening dusk. The summits are Sàil Gharbh and Sàil Ghorm
Arkle and Foinaven behind it
A windless evening full of midges
Stopping at a passing place to take the picture
The first two miles on tarmac towards Lone
Left Ben Stack, right Arkle. Note the deer on the shores of the loch.
Just after sunset
Ben Stack on the left
Two moraines forming an entrance gate
I pitched my tent on the left of it in the falling dusk
Morning clouds hugging Ben Stack
A last look back from my camp spot after having packed my things
Breakfast close to streaming water (Allt Horn)
And relatively free from midges
The last leg towards Baelach Horn (510m)
On the left part of the Foinaven ridge is visible
Splendid cambrian quartzite of Arkle
Roughly 500 million years old
The "blockfields" make for tiresome walking
Ben Hope in the distance
The ridge of Foinaven coming into view
Seen from Creag Dionard 778m
The weathered explorer, Foinaven in the background
Selfie with iPhone
Cranstackie and Beinn Spionnaidh just behind
Seen from Creag Dionard. The wide expanse of the Atlantic behind the whole.
Baelach Cadha na Beucaich
The top on the right is called Lord Reay's Seat. Two hillwalkers are standing on top of Pt. 808m.
Looking down from the second top (Pt. 808m)
Looking back to Craig Dionard, the first top of the day
Ben Hope in the background
The loose rock made descending this slope really arduous
Looking back from the baelach to point 808m while taking a well-earned break
I circumvented the pinnacle in front of the next top, but the going remained difficult
The A' Ch'eir Ghorm ridge
I left exploring this ridge for another visit to Foinaven
Ganu Mor (big wedge or head), the highest summit of the Foinaven range
Seen from the third top, Pt. 869m (Lord Reay's Seat). The walk proved unusually arduous and I decided to forego this summit
