Thanks - you have reminded me that I really must get up there again before too long - nearly did this year in April, but couldn't track down dog friendly accommodation in time - and had a splendid week exploring Ardnamurchan instead.
My last and only visit to far north was late 1980's - and I loved the area - did mostly same mountains as you, including Stac Polly. I think it was also in June - but there wasn't any snow on An Teallagh! (bad year for midges though... )
best wishes, Mark
Hi Mark,
It's a magic area with a great range of hills. We were lucky with the midges this year as it was quite windy and that stopped them rising. Our other target was Suilven which we didn't have time for apart from a fine view of it from Stac Polly. We will definitely get there one day.
The last time we were in Scotland at the same time of year we had new snow on the tops too.
cheers Johnnie
