| At last, a view |
 |
| Liathach, well some of it |
 |
| The pines |
I've been over in Torridon, guiding on Beinn Damph for Torridon Outdoors. On Thursday I was joined by Alan & Audrey were out with me and wanting an easy hill day with great views.
 |
| More Butterwort please |
 |
| ...and more Sundews |
 |
| Plenty of Scotch Argus around |
Unfortunately we were walking in thick cloud most of the time. We did get to see at least 8 adult Ptarmigan and 4 chicks in 3 different locations up high on the ridge, as we walked in thick cloud to the summit.

| A view less summit |
I was camping for two nights amongst the midges. No pic-nicking outside the porch for me!
Now you know why July & August are my least favourite months of the year!
 |
| A wet Beinn Eighe on Wednesday evening |
 |
| Good midge protection |
A walk back over the Coulin Pass this morning. Very low cloud to 200m or less and I can safely say no temperature inversions just now. Midges so bad I had the midge net on even when walking. At least the flora and fauna made up for the lack of mountain vistas.

 |
| Damn midges |

| Achnashellach, the start to great adventures, or an escape from midges |
