Sgurr na Banachdich , The Black Cullins , Skye

DATE : 24th September 2008




The Black Cullins from the road to Glen Brittle


The start , the Glen Brittle Youth Hostel , now closed for the winter


There's a super waterfall just by the beginning of the path


Close up of the Glen Brittle Campsite , £5 a night apparently


Another close up , the mountains on Rum


Looking back to the start with Belach Brittle behind


There's a narrow corridor that ascends most of the steep section on Sgur Nan Gobhar


Up on the ridge now with Sgur na Banachdich ahead and Sgur Dearg to the right


Heading towards the top of a misty Sgur na Banachdich


Loch Brittle and the island of Rum


View across Coire a Ghreadaidh to Sgurr Thuilm


Looking down at the 2 ridges of Sgur Nan Gobhar and An Diallaid


The summit of Sgur na Banachdich and the smaller top of Sgur Thormaid


The view south across to Bealach Coire na Banachdich with Sgur Dearg in cloud


The misty summit of Sgur na Banachdich


Not much view along the ridge


Heading back down Coir an Eich


Looking back up to Sgurr a Ghreadaidh


Some wild deer have sussed me


The pointed profile of An Diallaid
