Glencoe - Day 2

After breakfast we visited the Glencoe visitors' centre a mile or so away to use its facilities (toilets and wifi!). Then we drove to the other end of Glencoe and parked at the car park for Buachaille Etive Mor.


We walked across the flat ground past the cottage and towards the gully.


The path then went steepy up a dry river bed full of boulders.


Further up it went to the side of the river and near the top there was some mild scrambling to do. Once up at the shoulder we could see all the way down the gully we'd just come up.


We still had to climb to the top of the easternmost peak, which is Stob Dearg at 1022m. From there there are fantastic views across Rannoch Moor, Glencoe and Glen Etive.


We then walked all the way along the ridge to the last peak, Stob na Brioge, 956m. The view back along the ridge shows how far we'd come.


We then had a long steep walk down and back to the van. We went back to Signal Rock again, later having pasta and sauce for dinner.
