Last nights intense sunset. Slightly de-saturated as I think the phone camera was at its limits.

@IanF My frames from Torridon. Perhaps you will know exactly where I was! Sgurr Fiona? My memory of the whole weekend is sketchy. We left Fife about 6pm on a Friday. Fish supper in Blair Atholl possibly.
Companion in blue jacket and with fair hair was Bill, an American doing a Masters, really nice guy. The other guy I don’t remember at all.
Not having a copying lens, this evening I projected the non glass mounted slides onto my dad’s 1960’s cine screen and photographed the images. I now bitterly regret not choosing a white wall.

The cardboard slide mounts are stamped FEB 82.
I bought my OM-1 about 18 months earlier.

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for posting these; a Winter traverse must have been a real adventure. Most I can identify but it looks like you may have descended via Glas Mheall Liath, giving some different views to those I’ve seen previously.
-
Above Shenaval, looking along Strath na Sealga to Loch an Nid. Creag Rainich on left, Beinn a’ Chlaidheimh on right.
-
Sail Liath summit area (Fisherfield mountains in background).
-
As above, but with Sgurr Fiona behind.
-
Loch na Sealga with ridge to Beinn Dearg Bheag.
5 & 6. Probably views from near Glas Mheall Liath (presumably on descent after climbing Bidean a’ Ghlas Thuill). Appears to show Sail Liath and the initial scramble towards Sgurr Fiona.
-
Sail Liath area - both Munros visible behind.
-
Not sure, but looks like a view across to the A832, where you were likely parked.
Cheers,
Ian

Was across the road, exercising Brodie, when looking up the North Channel I spotted this.
Possibly the clearest view of Jura I’ve ever seen from NI.

With a sub quietly slipping through?
One of “The Maidens”. The one with the ruined lighthouse.

Hi Ian,
Thanks very much for such a detailed reply. You obviously know An Teallach incredibly well! I’ve spent some time this afternoon googling and looking at the mountains you have named. And frightening myself!
How did I have the nerve for that trip? The only answer can be the the naïvety of youth. I was twenty. Basically I didn’t know what I was letting myself in for. None of us did. You can see it in the clothing we were wearing. I had a blue Henri Lloyd cag over layers of Helly Hansen. Decent boots and thankfully not jeans. (We knew how to stop ourselves with an ice-axe.)
The leader was a lecturer in the microbiology dept. We had a meeting on the Tuesday before. He said the weather was looking good. About a dozen in the minibus I think.
About the images I’ve posted…they look pretty crap. My Mum died in June. After 63 years years of marriage, Dad is a bit lost. I told him I’d been talking about An Teallach to a chap on the forum who produces top work, and wanted to post some of my slides from when I’d been up there as a student. He offered his cine screen so enthusiastically to project them onto, that I couldn’t turn him down. But that screen… omg!
Anyway we had our weekly Tuesday supper together, he produced a nice Italian bottle, and I did the copies.
Thank you again. Now back to photographers posting their favourites…
Cheers, Chris
