Our campsite
At the end of the day the sun came and Conachair was briefly cloud-free - I should have jumped on the opportunity to climb it, in the end this proved to be the only time the hill was not entirely shrouded in clouds
The church - a despiriting place!
Remains of WW2 aeroplane on the slopes of Conachair
We ascended Conachair on the morning of the second day in deep mist which wouldn't lift
The trig point of Conachair - no views today!
A Soay sheep shedding it's fur
Ruins of houses and blackhouses
Tor sitting on his thinker's stone
Plenty of cleits in various sizes
