Oddly-shaped rock

Unfinished business 3 – Beinn an Eòin, Torridon, Wester Ross – August

Clouds over Baosbheinn
Funny-looking clouds peeking above the lower flanks of Baosbheinn on way to Beinn an Eoin. They look like they are having a conversation




This was our second attempt at going up Beinn an Eòin. On the previous occasion we had turned back due to deteriorating weather conditions. This time the clearer weather held, and we had good views all around.

Sandstone pavement

Sea pink
I think this plant is called a Sea Pink




On way up Beinn an Eoin
A bit of weather on the right, as we got to Coire Loch na Geala, with a wide rocky shelf




Rainbow in Torridon
You don’t get rainbows without a bit of moisture in the air

Dark clouds over Beinn Eighe
I was glad we weren’t over there just then – looking towards Beinn Eighe to the south-east

Loch na h-Oidhche
Loch na h-Oidhche which lies between Beinn an Eoin and Baosbheinn. The Flowerdale Forest, where there are no longer any trees




Looking across Mulcach
Looking from the southern end of Beinn an Eòin across the lochan-littered Mulcach to Beinn Eighe, where we walked the previous day. You can see the Coire Mhic Fhearchair corrie containing Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair, surrounded by Sail Mhòr on the right and Ruadh-stac Mòr on the left. Sgurr nan Fhir Duibhe (also part of Beinn Eighe) can be seen behind Ruadh-stac Mòr. The lower brown hill on the far left is Beinn a’ Chearcaill, and the tops of Liathach can be seen in the distance on the right. Looking south-east




Coire Mhic Fhearchair
A closer-up view of Coire Mhic Fhearchair. We came down the bealach visible in the middle, coming down past the loch.




Oddly-shaped rock and weather
