Some good photos indeed,our avatar picture was taken down Glen Etive,first day of ownership and first trip in our Freda
Thought I'd add our trip report
Thursday afternoon after a long shift at work and a ridiculously short sleep we headed off up north.
Didn't think we'd make it as far as Gairloch though,north of Fort Bill was our target,a few places to stop
in mind.We done well for time and made it all the way to Torridon just over 30 miles away,knew a spot
to park with a good walk for the dog in the morning
Awoke early in the morning,quick bite to eat then off to walk the dog
Gairloch in the distance
On the summit another walker appeared and asked if that was my bongo down there and then said that he had one as well,
Chris who'd heard of Bongofury but wasn't a member joined us for the rest of the walk(and popped in to Gairloch later for a look)
maybe see him at a future meet,Red Squirrel anyone
The rest of the walk ahead(Sgurr Mhor and the Horns of Alligin)
The deep cleft in the hill is called Eag Dhubh na h-Eigheachd(the black notch of the wailing)
legend is it was named by local shepherds who for many years had heard wailing and cries of anguish from the area,when one of
them went to investigate he tragically fell to his death and the sounds were never heard again
Looking back
There's a wild camp spot down there
A short drive to the campsite and a good weekend lay ahead,
A long way to travel for some folks but I hope you all left with good memories
