Ben More (Mull) ... April 07
Ben More

An interesting but short walk over the highest ground on the Isle of Mull, a general haze stops any great views, unseasonal temperatures make it feel like a summers day out.

A warm summers day at the beginning of April. The sea loch was so tempting that I couldn't resist, my swim was brief, possibly less than 30 seconds!

Looking back up to Ben More's northern coire. This stream "Abhainn na h-Uamha" with its deep cut gorges and waterfalls, worthy of a days exploration by itself.

A bit off topic for my hill walking pictures, but I just had to give this place a mention, Tobermory. Absolutely full of life, great pubs, great food, great Lager and as much big screen football as you could possibly dream about.

Looking back to Mull as the ferry approaches Oban. Ben More is the distant hill on the left, the two closer hills are Mulls' two Corbetts, Beinn Talaidh and Dun da Ghaoithe
