Beinn a Chaorainn, Beinn Bhreac, Beinn a Bhuird, Ben Avon

24 miles, 1240m ascent, 12 hours 45 mins

A long but satisfying day over the lonely miles to Ben Avon.  After a restless night listening to the flapping of the tent I was tired, but at least I didn't have to carry the pack.  We entered the mist and drizzle soon after the river and didn't come out of it until the descent of Ben Avon, so I had to keep an eye on the map and compass across the peaty plateau between Beinn Bhreac and Beinn a Bhuird.  Ben strode out purposefully on the long walk back up the track where we passed our first person of the day beside the emergency shelter at the Fords of Avon.  It was not until 9:30 that we returned to the tent.   Photos
