Conival & Ben More Assynt

Quite unexpectedly I managed to go to the Far North on Friday. It was pretty risky affair, as I left the car park at 1:30pm, unusually late for me. Generally the hike was not complicated or particularly difficult till I reached the ridge leading directly to the summit of Conival – the wind was strong; it became dangerous on the ridge between the two tops. On Ben More Assynt the wind was so violent I had to lie down on the rocks to avoid being blown away. I packed my camera to the rucksack and focused on reaching the safety of the lower slopes of Conival. When I got there one hour later I saw the top completely hidden in clouds. Luckily I managed to return to my car just before the darkness.
