West Scotland -stunning scenery!

This is what we went for!

Climbing from Little Loch Broom.

The evening stay at Ullapool Youth Hotsel was interesting. John and I had to sleep on benches in th common room, as all the beds were taken by motorists resting their weary foot, and in the early hours of the morning several teenagers were busy being sick having indulged in some local brews earlier in the evening. To make matters worse, several girls piled into the common room very early in the morning, and entered into the YHA spirit by doing their hair with hair-dryers etc. as we tried to sleep.
When we woke we were stiff and tired.
