After a swift exit from work, the convoy 'flew' north and pitched at Sligachan at 1ish after a superb Friday night drive up on empty roads.
Awoke to some mizzle, a very strange hoopy sounding bird and grey sky with low cloud over the Cuillin. Nevertheless we continued with Plan A and ascended Am Basteir (from Sligachan on a traversing path under Pinnacle Ridge) and we were glad we did as the weather soon improved...
Checking the route.
Avoiding snow traverses...
Our first clear view of the day, looking south from the bealach.
A fine view of Pinnacle Ridge on Sgurr nan Gillean on our descent above the Basteir gorge.
A welcome and refreshing splash around on the return to Sligachan.
Nicely esconsed next to the Humes at Glen Brittle.
