Torridon

The following was submitted by Jago.
As I arrived at the Torridon village campsite on Thursday evening I was met by the traditional summer greeting party of incalculable midges and heavy rain.  After a wet night and morning I decided to go for a quick truck up Ben Eighe to tick the summit of Spidean Coire nan Clach (993m) during the afternoon.  The top had been reclassified as a Monroe summit long after I first ascended the peak with Mick during spring bank holiday in 1988.   
The following day the weather improved a little providing prolonged sunny spells in between the regular downpours.  I therefore opted to do Moaile Lunndaidh (1007m) from Glen Carron, which provide a long tough day’s hillwalking amongst majestic scenery.
