Barrisdale to Inverie
Great walking weather again today, sunny intervals with a light but cold wind.
 |
| Climbing up from Barrisdale |
Once again there was a lot of chatting before I set off in the opposite direction to the CWT walkers, climbing up the good path to Mam Barrisdale.
 |
| Loch an Dubh-Lochain |
It is a fairly steep path that sweeps up to the pass but dry underfoot with some lovely views to Barrisdale and the hills.
 |
| Highland cows looking scenic |
Once over the top there is again a great view down to Loch an Dubh-Lochain but the path isn't as good, rather wet and boggy in places.
 |
| Looking back to the hills |
There was a group of highland cows looking very scenic at the head of the lochan and I was serenaded by Stonechats, Reed buntings and Dippers twittering away as I continued down to Inverie.

| Inverie bay |
I arrived in perfect time for lunch in the little café. Soup, baked potato and tea. I was still early for check-in at the bunkhouse so l was forced to sample some locally made beer at the Inn.
 |
| Approaching Inverie |
It is a good, well equipped bunkhouse but obviously has the normal problems. I was informed by someone who stayed here last night that there was a banshee snorer. Hopefully they have moved on.
