DC, Stac Pollaidh and general wetness

After climbing Stac Pollaidh, DC, DP and I stayed at the Inchnamph hostel. We took advantage of the roof to dry and repack all of our stuff.

DC and the mess!

We climbed Conival and Ben More Assynt. This view's from Conival, showing the hills to the East, then Ben More Assynt (and the ridge we walked along), then Breabag, then the major Assynt hills (Stac Pollaid, Cul Mor, Cul Beag, Canisp, Suilven - though I'm not entirely sure which are visible), then Loch Assynt, then Quinag (L to R)

Conival and Ben More Assynt from the descent from Ben More Assynt. In the foreground is the "Aonach Eagach of Assynt" - we didn't agree!

The Aonach Eagach of Assynt (apparently!)

Water flowing through caves on the way down from Ben More Assynt. We did a bit of amateur caving in one of the caves, crawling through a tiny hole into a large cavern with an underwater river.

The sunset from near the campsite at Achmelvich (after fun scrambling along the cliffs)

Sunset again

And the sun after setting

The following day, we climbed Canisp (no photos due to silly amounts of cloud!) and stayed in the Suileag bothy near Suilven - it was amaaaaazing

Boots and the fire in the bothy (lit using wood carried 4km - damn all the pyromaniacs staying in bothies!)

After our Canisp/Suilven/bothy adventure, we travelled south to take advantage of a weather window forcasted by MWIS, and climb An Teallach. This photo was taken from Sail Liath, and shows Corrag Bhuidhe, Lord Berkeley's Seat and Sgurr Fiona (spikey things on the left) and Bidein a Ghlas Thuill (right hand peak).
