Posing for the Moray Carshare promotion photo
We had to squeeze ourselves through a tight kissing gate
Stac Pollaidh with Loch Lurgainn in front
Allt Caonaidh, the burn which we were to follow all the way up through the glen
The burn and the wet, muddy land - the path was sometimes visible, sometimes disappeared altogether
Making our way through the heather
Toni and Paul
Nearing Lochan Tuath
Toni, Mark, Evert, Duncan, Ian, Hussain and Paul, with myself eight walkers in total
Sgùrr an Fìdhleir with Lochan Tuath in front
Sgùrr and Fìdhleir left and Beinn an Eoin right
A good spot for lunch
Bein an Eoin looking in the mirror
The slope to the bealach that was much steeper than expected
We persevered and made it!
Elsa, proud, or unaffected?
View from Sgùrr an Fìdhleir towards the Minch
We had worked hard to ascend to the top and were rewarded with on of the most beautiful views of Scotland
Ben Mòr Coigach
The hills to the north of Sgùrr an Fìdhleir
The panoramic view from the utmost top, close to the 200m sheer drop
A second lunch, while enjoying the views
Elsa wasn't particularly interested in the views
Rainbow over iconic mountain
Stac Pollaidh
Crossing over the bealach to a lower summit of Ben Mòr Coigach
We went down from this slope to cross over to Beinn Tarsuinn
Beinn Tarsuinn (544m) - returning along this ridge took away part of the muddy return walk
