A view of this sea loch on the north side of the Applecross Peninsula. Like many parts of the west coast, the fractal coastline is convoluted into sub-peninsulas and islands. | |
|
Glen Grudie runs south from Loch Maree and the deer-stalkers' path gives good access deep into the mountains with excellent views of the north side of Beinn Eighe. The two mist-capped peaks visible here are Ruadh-stac Mor and Sail Mhor. | |
|
Looking east , down over the burn (stream) called Allt a Choire Bhriste. We had intended to climb Beinn a Chearcail but low cloud and gales made us turn back at the top of Choire Briste. | |
|
Back on the stalkers' path and heading straight for Ruadh-stac Mor and Sail Mhor, with Ruadh-stac Beag just visible on the left. | |
|
Further south along the path which climbs slightly up the eastern edge of Beann a Chearcail before descending again below the cliffs called Creag na Feola. | |
|
Onward into the wilderness. Ruadh-stac Mhor is cloud-free but Beinn Eighe's other peaks are covered. In the distance on the left can be seen the River Grudie's two tributaries, Allt Coire Ruadh-staca and Allt Coire Mhic Fhearchair, sparkling in the sunshine. | |
|
The path stretches on ahead, passing below Crag na Feola and getting ever nearer to Coire Mhic Fhearchair which lies between the twin peaks. | |
|
A tiny sundew plant which has caught several insects - probably midges. | |
