2009 saw me enjoying my third Challenge, accompanied again by Sue, on her second event. We used the Hilleberg Nallo tent again, ideal accommodation for this event.
We caught the ferry from Mallaig to Inverie, where we lingered at length before a fairly short walk over the Munro summit of Luinne Beinn to the 680 metre col at the head of Choire Odhar.
Our camp was at 680 metres (NG871001), and proved most comfortable, especially compared with Robert Slade's nearby bivouac location, we later discovered.
After quite a few sliding noises, it was no surprise to open the tent to a snowy scene, with our Fowl Weather Alternative being needed as a traverse of the Knoydart summits didn't seem wise.
We had plenty of time for more pictures of the snowy scene, before heading off down to the valley.
