Ben Wyvis

DATE : 3rd October 2008




Just off the A835 are the Rogie Falls seen here in full flow after all the recent rain


With path repairs underway a helicopter is used to transport rocks to site


Ben Wyvis emerges out of the cloud from a recent shower


Looking back along the path to Carn na Dubh Choille


Another rain shower is on the way in


Ben Wyvis , the route of ascent can be seen as a faint line


In the distance are Am Faochagach and Carn Gorm-loch


Further west are the Fannichs


Loch Glascarnoch with the Aultguish Inn seen in front


Another shower currently over Am Faochagach is moving in


There are limited views further south


That rain shower is moving closer


The movement of rocks continues regardless


The shower wipes out any further views, this is a very very very cold Ben Wyvis summit


Shortly after leaving the summit the clouds move away, this is another view to Loch Glascarnoch


View across to Glas Leathad Beag


Heading towards Tom a' Choinnich


Western view


Close up of An Teallach


The route back along the Allt Tom a' Choinnich


The huge western wall of Ben Wyvis


Looking back along the Allt Tom a' Choinnich to Tom a' Choinnich


Eventually we reach Garbat Forest
