Hi Jim
Could have waved at you on Saturday morning as we were on the two
Torridon Corbetts Sgorr nan Lochan Uaine and Sgurr Dubh. The views
from SnLU at 12 noon were superb with Liathach and Beinn Eighe
dominating the North but superb views over Beinn Liath Mhor ( site of
my fall in 2000 ) and onto Meal Chean-dearg. In fact We remarked how
rounded the top of MCD is compared to BLM when seen from this angle.
We also had a great day and the afternoon sun just made it better.
Driving past Beinn Eighe on the way out just reinforced the need to
return to this mountain to do the whole ridge using two cars. I am
assuming you got both Munros then descended straight back to the road,
This is the way we did it a few years back but I have always wanted to
take a day and do the entire ridge, specially after being on its
outlying Corbett Ruadh-stac Beag a couple of weeks ago. definitely
good to get back to Torridon, probably my favourite mainland walking
area
