Bla Bheinn

Matt’s Report

Bla Bheinn is sometimes translated as the “warm mountain” and it certainly lived up to its name today. Temperatures were perfect with hot sunshine and a cool breeze that made for ideal walking conditions. I was walking to the North Summit with Carol and Malcolm and we saw plenty of other people but sadly not the hoped for golden eagle sighting. The forecast looks good for the next few days so hopefully plenty of people will be out enjoying the delights of the Cuillin. I have put pictures of the almost the whole ridge below to maybe inspire anyone thinking of coming up. There is no significant snow anywhere on the crest so axe/crampons are not needed.
