Ling Hut Meet - 18/19 July 08

Only 3 brave souls attended this meet at Torridon's Ling Hut. Present were Brian, Alan and Jim Wyllie. We spent the Thursday night at Tulloch Station and on the Friday drove up to Morvich where we were greeted with a cross between miserable and possibly promising weather. However, an hour after setting off the heavens opened and the rain never really stopped for the rest of the day. The two Wyllies did A Ghlas Bhein, whilst Brian did that and Beinn Fhada also. On the Saturday, Brian and Alan attempted Liatach in equally horrible wet conditions. The easterly munro was conquered, but after an initial burst of enthusiasm for continuing, the low cloud and wet rock conspired to make turning back seem a far more sensible option than risk going along the pinnacles when we couldn't even see them. A leisurely time was had at the hut though Brian did manage to soil his pants retrieving his drink when he opened the outer door to be greeted by two scary looking deer. The weather was that bad we had to put our waterproofs on just to head back to the car. More photos from the trip can be found by clicking here.
