Overnight photography trip on Blaven, 23 July
Mike’s report.
I enjoyed an indulgent feast of Cuillin views from an unusual bivvy site on the south top of Bla Bheinn last night with Danish friends Pernille and Thomas.
Sun playing on the mists that flew past on strong northerly winds.
Looking across the seas of mist to the Main Ridge; Gars-bheinn on the left and Alasdair on the right.
Out to the south and east the clear skies were glowing…
Rum floats between the purple sea and the pink skies.
We had a leisurely morning as the mists took a long time to lift. Eventually we were treated to Brocken Spectres.
Catching the spectres was hard today with the speed the mists were moving..
We descended the classic South Ridge which gives a long but technically easy descent towards Elgol. The Main Ridge nearly cleared in its entirety with only Am Basteir steadfastly refused to appear.
