THE RING OF STEALL

Stob Coire a' Mhail (The Devils Ridge)
Stob Ban, with South and North  Gully's still complete
Ben Nevis from Sgurr a' Mhaim
The best till last, An Garbhanach
The excellent easy scramble on An  Garbhanach 
The final summit, An Gearanach
This mini heatwave continues and today the temperatures were even higher, it felt like May not March! So to make the most of the sun and longer days I headed over the classic ridge walk in The Mamores, The Ring of Steall. Four Munros and two other summits encircling the beautiful Steall Falls. A lot of other folk seemed to have the same idea today, many folk going the 'opposite way to me so thankfully not too busy. By the time I reached Am Bodach it was peace and quiet and silent. Base layer was all that was needed today, so nice to be carrying  a light rucksack today which made it a breeze getting around in just over 6 hours. More of the same to come over the next few days, enjoy it while it lasts!
