Bidean nam Bian 29 May 2009











29 May - a superb cloudless day, and a fantastic but fairly arduous walk/scramble up Bidean nam Bian from the A82, via Coire nam Beith to the ridge, then E along the ridge to the summit of Stob Coire nam Beith - amazing views of Ben Nevis and the Mamores (over the top of Aonach Eagach) to the N, and S to Ben Cruachan. Then the last climb up to Bidean nam Bian 1150m (3,773'). A 360 panorama of Glencoe from its highest point, distant views as far as the Cuillin ridge and Glen Shiel. A very satisfying day, 6h up and down. Apparently the first clear day for 10 days!
