From the Cluanie Inn, Sue and I strolled into Glen Affric and spent an hour with Steve, the warden at Alltbeithe SYHA. There were no other Challengers around - Steve reckoned they had all gone through earlier.
Despite the cloud being down, we then took the route north, up to a flattish area at Coire na Cloiche, at around 700 metres.
The top picture was taken at dinner time after we had returned to the tent from the Affric ridge, where we visited Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan, the very top of which was just about above the cloud. Finding the tent on the way back could have been tricky!
The following morning the tent was still in the cloud, as it had been since when we arrived the previous afternoon.
However, as soon as we reached the ridge, just a few metres above us, we had risen above the cloud and we enjoyed some lovely inversions from An Socach and beyond.
