Aonach Eagach Ridge


We headed to Glencoe for the solstice weekend and couldn't resist another tromp along the Aonoach Eagach Ridge (we hiked back in 2007 as well).

J's finger pointing out the ridge.

Looking north

Tom and James took in an extra 'summit'. If you look closely you can spot them.

Carex nigra


Looking down at Glencoe.

The ridge proper. Spot the James.

I think we spent almost as much time chilling out in the sun as we did hiking.

James looking suave while trying to protect himself from the hot Scottish sun.


Goats!

Chilled out billy goat.

Rocky, muddy, shallow lochen.

Hiking down with the sea in the background.

Foxgloves

Deer fern (Blechnum spicant)

Bracken

Back to Glen Etive for some camping.

We thought we had a big tent until Andy and Harry showed up with the tipi with stove.

Camping in style.

Dinner in style.

Ahh. Aenach Eagach- the ridge of the brown underpants. Looks awesome! Can't believe the sunshine.
