After our first night at the Torridon Inn we drove the few miles to park at the foot of Liathach. This was to be our longest walk at just under 9 miles and we were really looking forward to this as it promised wonderful views of the Beinn Eighe and Liathach ridges.
Again, this was a well constructed stalkers path and the ascent was reasonably easy going. The views of the imposing Beinn Eidge were dazzling, particularly as the first snow of the year had reached the mountain tops overnight. As we walked on we heard the eerie bellowing of the stag and the sounds echoed through the valley as we continued on to
Coire Mhic Fhearchair (540m) - labelled as one of the most finest corries in Scotland. Here we took in the view of Baosbheinn (the Wizard's Mountain), Beinn an Eoin and Beinn a Chearchaill
as they stood sentinel over the flat and empty moors and bogs.
The weather was stunningly clear and warm and we were the only walkers which made the walk even more peaceful and enjoyable. Apart from the sounds of the stag, we were surprised to see no wildlife. Tried as we might we couldn't spot the stag.
On the approach to Loch
Coire Mhic Fhearchair we passed two crystal clear waterfalls. Up through the rocky path we caught our first glimpse of the Triple Buttress. We didn't hang about too long as it was reasonably windy and cold. We turned back to walk the same route back and marvel at the views that we had our backs turned on when we started off. On the way back we met a few other walkers and it was clear to see why this walk was a popular one.
