The next stop on my tour of Scottish hill walks was Glen coe. I based my self in Glen Coe village and spent 4 days walking solo.

The first day, I hitched down the road to Ballachulish to walk the Beinn a'Bheithir horseshoe. The ridge upto Sgorr Dhearg was spectacular and the scree decent into Gleann a Chaolais was great fun.

Day two I was a little nervous to head to the Aonach Eagach rideg on my own however once on the ridge i relaxed and enjoyed the whole experience. There was one other team that I met fairly ealry on. The ridge appeared and dissappeared into the cloud throughout the day and I was amazied to see a Brocken spectre.

In the evening I got a call from the St Andrews Mountainearing Club saying that there were heading over for the weekend. I met up with Byron and Natalie and had a great day on Buachaille Etive Mor. We assended the "Chasem to Crowberry Ridge" traverse which was horible, loose and wet but the views from the summit were superb.
