The crags are composed of massive Torridonian sandstone.text/html2011-06-16T21:02:44+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.498051 -4.903900NC3060 : NE top of Farrmheall

The slabs of Torridonian sandstone provide wonderful easy, fast walking. The NE top is so unfrequented that it does not even have a cairn on the summit.text/html2011-06-16T20:58:30+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.520026 -4.933372NC2962 : Eastern slopes of Meall a'Mhoine

Torridonian sandstone forms the small crags on the left-hand side of the picture. The slopes, although relatively steep, are still very wet underfoot.text/html2011-06-16T20:53:33+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.508293 -4.927756NC2961 : Junction of two small burns, Meall a'Mhoine

In a vain attempt to make NC2961 interesting, here is a picture of the junction of two desultory streams. Is this better than a picture of a drainage ditch?text/html2011-06-16T20:48:43+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.504038 -4.925170NC2961 : Drainage ditch near Feith a'Chaorainn

It is a sad indictment of square NC2961 that the most interesting feature is a drainage ditch.text/html2011-06-16T20:44:51+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.502237 -4.921414NC2960 : Drainage ditch near Feith a'Chaorainn

This view, looking NE, shows another of the drainage ditches present in this boggy valley. Feith a'Chaorainn can be seen on the right-hand side of the photo.text/html2011-06-16T20:40:55+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.499242 -4.922710NC2960 : Drainage ditch near Feith a'Chaorainn

The heavy rain of 13th June has washed out all the dead blades of Purple moor-grass from this drainage ditch. Note to anyone who cut these ditches: they aren't working!!text/html2011-06-16T20:34:30+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.491333 -4.922739NC2959 : Western slopes of Farrmheall from Abhainn an t-Strathain

The small lochan in the foreground is almost dried up, and is a sedge swamp. However, Feur Loch (behind the viewer) has plenty of water. I didn't check to see whether Feur Loch was cold or not...text/html2011-06-16T20:30:33+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.477450 -4.920728NC2958 : Upper reaches of Abhainn an t-Strathain

The path by the burn, so lovely lower down, has now degenrated into a wet plod through bog. Often-times, it is "drier" (in relative terms) to walk straight through the bog. Miserable, especially with the attention of midges.text/html2011-06-16T20:25:47+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.475426 -4.926736NC2957 : Bog SW of Farrmheall

It is truly difficult to find anything of merit in this square. Blanket bog prevails, and even the drainage ditches don't appear to be working. This view looks across point 197 m (marked on the 1:25,000 map), which is somewhere in the bog, to Lewisian gneiss knolls on the other side.text/html2011-06-16T18:47:14+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.523213 -4.951161NC2863 : Cairn above Loch na Creige Riabhaich

There appears no rhyme or reason for this lovely little cairn, which doesn't sit on a high point of mark any path at all. It is, however, a nice place to lie and listen to skylarks.text/html2011-06-16T18:43:01+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.524211 -4.950730NC2863 : Creag Riabhach and Loch na Creige Riabhaich

It is a big surprise to find 150 m of crags on the NE side of the hill, when the western slopes give no indication of any excitement. It's also a fine viewpoint for the hills around the Cape Wrath bombing range.text/html2011-06-16T18:37:31+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.513231 -4.947574NC2862 : Looking S to Meall na Moine

The ground is excellent for fast walking. It is also studded with flowers, mostly Tormentil and Milkwort but there is also Mountain Everlasting and Hawkbit.text/html2011-06-16T18:32:56+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37138Tim Harrison58.507370 -4.944507NC2861 : Looking onto the S ridge of Meall na Moine

The cascades in this burn would make a welcome place to stop and sit were it not for the midges! The slabs in the burn are red Torridonian sandstone.
