Distant views

A long bike ride alongiseide a loch Sunart, a sea loch.  The road has lots of ups and downs making for a tiring journey but eventually I arrive at the tiny hamlet of Laga and start my walk.



The going for the first couple of miles is easy on a good track.  The hills are empty.  Few people walk these hills as they are lower and lack the glamour of the higher stuff to the east.  Their emptiness is part of their appeal to me.  Empty that is apart from wildlife although today I only see deer.



The main objective is the 2 Marilyns of Meall nan Each and Ben Laga.   Both summits reveal superb views. This is looking towards towards the Isles of Rum and Skye.  Note the sandy beach in the middle distance.


There are remote tarns everywhere.  This one is just below the top of Ben Laga and looks to be very deep.



A quick descent and then the long bike ride back.  But not a normal bike ride as I am on a fairly deserted road cycling alongside a Highland sea loch in glorious weather.
