We left the car park at 10:30 am on a warm morning. We started to climb a track but quickly came upon a deer fence so we had to clamber across country without a track. it was hard going because we were walking over bracken, heather and boggy ground. It was quite exhausting. We saw a very hairy caterpillar with orange and black stripes. I glanced down and saw a toad hopping over my foot, I screamed loudly! After an hour and a half we made it up onto the narrow ridge. We scrambled over Torridonian red sandstone crags. It was really good fun. Next we walked along the narrow ridge. It was really steep on both sides. From the summit there were lovely views down to Ullapool and beyond. We could see Suilven, Stac Pollaidh and Quinnag. I made it down almost to the bottom before I fell – twice. I was quite exhausted by this time and not so steady on my feet.
