Garbh Bheinn

Garbh Bheinn
Ardgour
18th May 2008

One of the classic Corbetts, I have often admired this hill when crossing the Ballachulish bridge so was well pleased to have such a fine day to climb it. Yesterdays walk had made my bad back / hip thing a lot worse, so much so that I was unable to get my boot lases tied until half way up. The view from the top and later the swim in an ice cold Loch Linnhe has now seemed to of cured the problem.

A journey on the ferry gives this hill that special "Island" feel to it, just like Skye did before the bridge!

With the hill at the bottom of this coire appearing to be part of the ridge running down the right, I started to become paranoid that I was totally lost and in the wrong coire, interesting feeling!
