Monday was supposed to be a 'down day' but the temptation to head out and do something was too great and the weather was good.
We decided to ascend the northern spur of Sgurr an Feadain just north of the main Cuillin ridge. A fine Grade 2 route it was and worthy of its starred rating.
It must be said that the route was, in part, chosen due to its close proximity to the Fairy Pools. Tim dabbled his feet and Charlie and Tom committed to the full plunge, including a swim through the underwater arch. Although the water was very bracing and gelid, it is a stunning place to be, and despite the midges and tourist paparazzi, it was a fitting end to a lovely day out.
Approaching the top of the route and looking into Waterpipe Gully.
Twit kids!
A fine view of our route and Waterpipe Gully, also visible from the Glen Brittle road.
Someone remained fully clothed...
Someone else committed to the swimmers...
