On Hartaval.
   

 Hartaval Summit: A party celebrating Bert Barnett's Final 'Graham'. Few have yet to complete this list of 2000'-2500' hills, so this is a rare event.

 

Well Done!

 
 

 
 
   

The famed, but rather neglected Trotternish Ridge.

This walk was the southern half, leaving the ridge a mile north of Sgurr a'Mhadaidh Ruadh. I hope to go back and finish the ridge , travelling northward beyond the Quirang.

The map is not too accurate with the contours here and some of the drops may be bigger than shown. Baggers should be alert to the possibilty of promotions here.

The basalt hills are covered in herb rich turf, easy going contrasting with the miles of sheer crag and landslip to the east. The view over the Old Man and the Storr Lochs towards the Torridon Hills is not easily forgotten.

Some of the best hill walking, anywhere.
