Day Walk 07/07/24: Corbett Luibhean and Munro Beinn Ime

Some pics from the FVMC Day Walk on 07/07/24, featuring Corbett Beinn Luibhean, NN 24294 07922 & Munro Beinn Ime, NN 25493 08481. The participants parked at the carpark near Butterbridge, NN 23432 09594 and headed east along the A83 for a short distance before heading SE up the hill passing the radio mast, their overall route depicted by; https://consumerplatform.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/route/23363241/240707--beinn-luibhean-and-beinn-ime-from-butterbridge?lat=56.239205&lon=-4.838621&zoom=14.3226&style=Leisure&type=2d

The view looking SE to Beinn Narnain and The Cobbler from the bealach between Beinn Luibhean and Beinn Ime, before the party ascended Beinn Luibhean.

IH fiddles with the camera at the top of Beinn Luibhean.

…and the result A.Rob, IH, BR & A.Rod – all in happy mode.

The view from Beinn Luibhean looking south to The Brack just left of centre, Cnoc Coinnich background centre and Ben Donich on the right.

The view NE from Beinn Luibhean featuring Ben Ime on right and Beinn Chorranach behind left. The bealach between them would be part of their descent route.

The view from Beinn Luibhean looking SE to Beinn Narnain and The Cobbler but this time catching the southern shoulder of Beinn Ime on the left. This shoulder would be their main ascent route avoiding the steeper SW face of Beinn Ime.

ARob makes short work ascending onto Beinn Ime’s southern shoulder leaving Beinn Luibhean in the background.

…meanwhile IH tests the propensity for the ground to slip – a well-known tendency in that neck of the woods.

Very poor visibility at top of Beinn Ime precluded any pics but here’s a fine image of the NE face of Beinn an Lochain from their descent of Beinn Ime. A guid day oot!
