27 June - some cloud and showers on day 2 of the Knoydart trip with Keith and Gayle, and at last a chance to climb Ladhar Bheinn, a long-standing ambition. We approached it from the SW side, so a grassy rather than craggy ascent, initially up into mist - as we approached the summit ridge and cairn the mist rolled away to reveal the dramatic Coire Dhorrcail cliffs on the Mam Barrisdale approach - a truly amazing view beyond to the rough bounds of Knoydart and Loch Quoich, round to Beinn Sgritheall and all the peaks to the north. An ambition realised to stand on the summit of Ladhar Bheinn at 3,346'! One or two showers on the way down but 13 miles and 8 hours in total. Fantastic!
