The camera has been panned left from the previous picture, showing the base of the triple buttress. The fragmented path round the east side of the loch is just visible further back. | |
|
Photographed from the same little promontory as the picture above but facing back towards the rim at the north end of the loch, where one or two walkers are on the move. In the distance are Beinn an Eoin and Beinn a Chearcaill. | |
|
The object in the foreground is part of a Lancaster bomber which crashed here on 13th March 1951. (More info here at Pete's Website.) Other plane parts are still scattered around this area. | |
|
Zoomed in on the scree-chute path which leads out of the corrie and onto the ridge between Coinneach Mhor and Ruadh-stac Mhor. Only experienced hill walkers should proceed beyond this point. | |
|
Beinn Eighe's white quartzite scree spills down into Coire Dubh. The large split rock in the foreground is close to the footpath which leads from the A896 car park to Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair. | |
|
A vantage point further south-east gives a more direct view of the scree in the previous photo. The amount of detail in this image means a large file size. | |
|
If you drive west along Glen Torridon on the A896 (single-track with passing places) then you'll reach another car park beside the western end of the footpath connecting Coire Mhic Nobuill and Coire Dubh Mor. Cross the road bridge over the burn to get to the start of the path. The bridge shown here is just before the path forks left for Beinn Alligin. | |
|
If you're climbing Tom na Gruagaich at the south west of Beinn Alligin then you'll likely pass this rocky plateau - whether you come directly up from the car park on the left side of the road bridge, or go further upstream in search of a less steep start. Beinn Damh and other mountains can be seen in the distance south of Loch Torridon. |
