Whoah! The mountains look so dry, steep and rocky.
We were soon using our hands as well as our feet
I felt nervous that you ladies might have rolled down the mountains! It must have been a real physical challenge climbing those peaks.
How long did it take you to finish the hike up to the time you got back down? Are there anyone who dared to camp somewhere in the mountains?
The mountains up there are so barren and rocky, it's unbelievable - not like other parts of Scotland at all! And climbing them was a bit of a challenge, but so much fun!
The trip took about eight hours from start to finish. There was quite a long walk-out at the end.
Actually, as we were climbing up in the morning, we met a photographer coming down, and he'd camped out all night to get good sunset and sunrise views from the top. He didn't know the area very well, and I recommended another beautiful mountain, Beinn Eighe, for his following night's camp. The next day we met him on Beinn Eighe!
The world is small after all. You recommended the mountain to him and he took it. Nice one! How about you ladies, where did you take the night before continuing to Beinn Eighe the following day?
We stayed at the Kinlochewe Bunkhouse. It's not a bad place, but in future I'd probably stay at the Torridon Youth Hostel - or camp.
It's good that there are still bunkhouses or hostel near a place like that. Somehow an option if hikers don't want to camp.
