Ben Avon and Beinn a Bhuird




Utterly stunning day out. Wild camped at 180009 beside the river Gairn and the walk up on to Ben Avon was tough but worth it for these babies. I was utterly blown away by Clach Choustaich, the massive tor - something quite magical about it and rarely visited by those who just bag Ben Avon and return. Ben Avon itself was fantastic and a wee scramble on to the highest point was fun. The Sneck is pretty tasty as are the views across to the Garbh Coire and then on to Beinn a Bhuird, it's quite a nice hill too. The descent back to Keiloch was looooooong though. Ben Avon has to be my favourite hill.

Kev, that second photo looks surreal. It is as though the Tor has been painted in
