A Misty Wall Below The Corrie
After heading out on to the far ridge we were heading down to the corrie lake and then down into the main valley. In hindsight a return back along the ridge would have been just as easy and would be recommended if the steep grass slopes, to the corrie and then to the valley, were wet.

Our Last Tops On Ben Loyal
We declined the outlier and just walked out along the Sgor a' Chleirich ridge to the far top before heading back a touch and dropping steeply down to the corrie lake. Ben Hope in the distance dropping a big hint as to where we should head for tomorrow!

Name That Lochan
For a "small" country we don't half have a lot of remote and trackless countryside. Looking south from Ben Loyal over a collection of small lakes with Altnaharra and Lairg somewhere in the far distance.

Looking Back From Sgor a' Chleirich
Mist was hanging around our first top of Sgor Chaonasaid viewed through two of the outcrops of our second Sgor a' Bhatain. It's always quite a surprise looking back to see how steep the drop is on the rocks you were hopping over earlier!

Loch Meadie And Ben Hee From Ben Loyal
Looking south east from the southern end of Ben Loyal into uncharted territory for me and probably for most people.
