Summit of Beinn Direach Looking west to the ridge of Carn an Tionail
Summit of Beinn Direach
Looking west to the ridge of Carn an Tionail
Grassy spur with peat bank The ridge running south from the Graham, Carn an Tionail broadens as it reaches a lesser top, A' Ghlaise; from that top a spur branches away south-west to end above the crags of Creag na h-Uidhe. The spur is the grassy ridge heading away beyond the peat bank. The distant mountains are in the district of Coigach - Cul Beag and Cul Mor.

Stone shelter south of Carn an Tionail The collection of stones is a small shelter between the peak Carn an Tionail and its lower southern top, A' Ghlaise. The mountain to the left side of the image is Càrn Dearg, an eastern top of the wonderfully named Corbett, Meallan Liath Coire Mhic Dhughaill!

Summit plateau of Carn an Tionail Carn an Tionail has a flat summit scattered with rocks some of which have been assembled to form a 'beehive' cairn. The distant mountain below the cloud is Ben Hope - the most northerly of the Munros.

Gullies, A' Ghlaise The steep east face of A' Ghlaise.  It is a wet crag and probably has some winter potential, given a very cold spell - it is low altitude.

Waterfall on the Allt Beithe The grass by the stream was a pleasant oasis, compared to the heathery, peaty terrain round about. Creag na h-Uidhe in the background.

Boulder by the Allt Beithe Although the stream was in peat hags by Loch Ulbhach Coire, there were pleasant grassy areas down here. The boulder provided welcome shelter from the wind.
