Triple Buttress - another soaking!

Mark at Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair (circa. 2000ft)

The Triple Buttress walk is a great excursion into wild places you can't see from the road. It's a four mile mountain walk to a corrie with majestic scenery all the way, and a fine path underfoot. It follows the valley between Bein Eighe and Liathach and then swings round to the right contouring endlessly into a dramatic corrie with waterfalls (very much in spate at the moment), a Loch (it was so windy, there were waves lapping the shores!), and huge rock buttresses. The weather was nice as we started, iffy as we approached the corrie, then it went from bad to terrible. Continuous driving hard rain most of the way down. As well as both being soaked our legs are now suffering badly from the recent adventures. But it was well worth doing.
