Glenfinnan Circuit

DATE : 29th April 2008









Patchy cloud around Ben Nevis from Corpach


There's nice conditions around Loch Shiel & the Glenfinnen Monument


The Glenfinnan viaduct carrying the Fort William to Mallaig railway line


In the distance is Sgurr Thuilm


Sgurr an Utha


Sgurr Thuilm from the ascent of Sgurr a Choire Riabhaich


Looking up to the top of Sgurr a Choire Riabhaich


Rain showers pass over Glenfinnan


After Sgurr a Choire Riabhaich is topped this is the view to the Munroe of Sgurr nan Coireachan


View north across Glen Pean from Sgurr nan Coireachan


To the west is Loch Morar


And to the east is our route across to Sgurr Thuilm


Close up of the island of Rum enjoying some sunshine


Looking back to Sgurr nan Coireachan


The expanse of Coire Thollaidh which leads to Glen Finnan


Glen Pean and Loch Arkaig


View back to Sgurr nan Coireachan and Sgurr a Choire Riabhaich


Ahead is the next Munroe , Sgurr Thuilm


On the final push to Sgurr Thuilm looking back to Beinn Gharbh and Sgurr nan Coireachan


In the distance is Loch Shiel with the Glenfinnan Monument and railwy viaduct visible


Before the summit of Sgurr Thuilm is reached a hail shower hits us giving the landscape a whiter look


The same hail shower passing over Loch Shiel


To the east from Sgurr Thuilm is Gleann Cuirnean with the Munroe of Gulvain in cloud


Also to the east directly opposite are the twin summits of Streap and Streap Comhlaidh


There's a great view of Sgurr nan Coireachan from the descent


Rain sets in on the return and has brought out many of the local deer population who didn't expect to see me
