A friend had  a weeks holiday planned for wild camping in Scotland,and my wife was kind enough to allow me to attend,so a bit of emailing and id managed to change his plans completely (sorry Lee) and i had a plan for 5 nites and 6 days through the rough bounds of Knoydart and beyond a little....

The start of a beautiful walk out too Barisdale bay





Barrisdale bay,where we collected some Mussels and cooked them up with fresh garlic in the bothy 

























The next morning started in cloud but before we had brewed we were treated to a great inversion,which just got better all day...one for the days when we can no longer reach these places


The green ones my Cuben Duomid and the other my good friend Lee's cuben Liar



  
So the next day soon cleared to start two days above the clouds

So after a great,and packless walk out too Ladher Beinne and back we picked up our packs and moved on.Last time i was here (with Chris)  i camped on a nice shoulder at 700m on the south side of Luinne Bheinn

We caught a touch of frost overnight and had heavy condensation,but what a start to the day it was ! Inversions galore  These are the mornings we soak up the view and quietness of a waking day  Jamie’s Trailstar with the first hill of the day Cruach Adrian 1046m looming up behind  Xmid 2 Shadowed by Ben More & Stob Binnein         Bit of drying time in the warm breeze before L.N.T and moving on  Looking North  Once on the summit of Cruach Ardrain we took the small and very steep path NE of it to collect a new Top for me,Stob Garbh.We continued East then lost most of our height,down to 430m to then start the slow pull up to the coll After many slugs of cold mountain water we left the sacks and went up Stob Bennein,fine views in all directions  The ridge Southwards  Back to the packs for more fluids and an energy boost,it was with slower limbs we slowly but steadily made our way up to Ben Mores lofty view point,my visit before had the ground and the sky all white  Crainlarich far bel
