An Coileachan (266) and Meall Gorm (215), 14th May 2014


Ready to go


Definitely not car friendly


Looking into An Eigin’s Garbh Choire Mòr - impressively steep cliffs


Being watched while heading steeply up beside the burn to the lochan near spot height 572 m


View back to the Fannich dam


View back south to spot height 572 m from the slopes leading to An Eigin


View up Loch Fannich


Two Hawk training jets flying along the loch below me.


An Eigin’s east face


An Coileachan behind An Eigin


View back to the River Grudie with Loch Luichart in the distance

Meall Gorm with Sgùrr nan Each to the left and Beinn Liath Mhòr Fannaich to the right


View back to An Coileachan from the slopes of Meall Gorm


Ruined stalker’s shelter on Meall Gorm


Not enough shelter from the high winds to put up a tent


The first glimpse across the crowded room


A flick of the hair


Watch me walk


Showing off the legs
