Glen Shiel

I hitcheda lift with Stewart, a paramedic from Hull visiting Scotland on holliday.  As we still had daylight when we arived in Glen Shiel, we decided to climb Am Bathach.  There was a beautiful rainbow on the way up and we saw loads of rutting dear on the walk back dowen the glen to the car.

I camped in some trees next to Loch Cluanie then hitched down to Invershiel to start the 5 sisters ridge on the next day.

The day was incredible.  Beautiful skies and little wind in a magical place made the long walk along the ridge to the Clunie Inn worthwhile.

For the second day in Glen Shiel I decided to climb the south ridge.  This was equally long and the views across to Knoydart equally stunning.
