Latest offering - Beinn Eighe - Spidean Coire Nan Clach 993m
Did this one at the w/e.Beinn Eighe is quite a long horseshoe of a ridge which contains 2 Munroes.It can all be done in a day,but involves going in and out the same way with lots of ascent and descent.Lot of folk start at one end,with another car parked at the other end,or,do it in 2 stages,of which I did the first stage on sunday.
Parked at the parking space beside the little bridge at Cromasaig,just outside Kinlochewe.A short walk(aim for the higher ground) through the trees takes you onto a track up the side of the Allt a Chuirn,and from there its just a case of following the track,and aim for the highest pointy top on the right of the below photo

There are bits of scree to negotiate on the way up,but its not too hard to pick out grassy or rocky sections to walk on

The Munro is the second last summit in the photo.Terrain here is pretty straight forward apart from the second summit,where theres a bit of scrambling,though there are often bypass routes if you look hard enough for them.
Great hill though,took about 6.5 hours there and back.
A bit of snow on the tops
