Highways Strontain Weekend Day 3: Beinn Resipol

(22.5.16) Garbh Eilean Wildlife hide & Beinn Resipol: 16km, 7hrs,24mins

The next day I wanted something abit easier. There was another group doing Rois Bheinn & pals but the quick way up minus the circuit. I would much prefer the circuit so left this for another time. Plus the forecast was not to be that great although an improvement on yesterday. Beinn Resipol fitted the bill for the day. We had the 2 cars so could do the through walk. In the Ariundle Centre there were other guests, geologists whos asked if we minded taking some tools up to get some rock samples. I accepted and took the tools, quite heavy I mind thinking. Sue wanted to get petrol at 11 so we killed some time by wandering around the Garbh Eilean Wildlife Hide. We parked up by the art gallery by Resipole & headed up, East, through the forest. Got the the summit and sure enough the clag came in. Decided to sit it out for a while as we had all day & sure enough we got a few views. I got the geologists tools out & chiped away at some rock but I found it hard so left it. Continued on East down the ridge. Descended SE by Leac Chlann Domhnuill Mhic Dhughaill to Bealach Nan Carn & took the track back to Ariundle. Sue got a lift back to Resipole to collect her car.
