Skye likes Loch Maree. It went something like: swim, swim, walk, swim, went further along for a swim, walk, and a paddle.

One from Monday's long walk.

I love views like this - a different perspective of a familiar mountain, in this case Beinn Eighe. Or a dramatic mountain ridge line heading into the clouds that just sets off a bit of excitement at the thought of climbing it.

I was out in the hills of #ballachulish yesterday and it was absolutely beautiful. Very good for the soul to drench yourself in nature and only having your own company.

"These are my hills!"

I took Skye's pack off in anticipation she would want a swim. I had no choice she was going in!

TBH, I appreciated the rest too. We stayed for a while just 'being' in this incredibly remote and beautiful place.

And some of the views from the summit.

The 'tennis court' on the ridge to A' Mhaighdean.

Whilst the scene is of mountain and lochs under a slightly hazing blue sky, the most striking feature is a flat topped area of the otherwise narrow rocky ridge.

More rocky landscape looking to A' Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mòr. To the left is Beinn Airigh Charr, with a glimpse of Poolewe in the middle.

Between two rocky and dramatic ridges lays Gleann na Muice with the distinctive Corrag Bhuidhe pinnacles of An Teallach at the far end.

The small, almost disappointing summit cairn of Beinn Tarsuinn is backed by the boulder screes of the ridge from Sgùrr Bàn to Beinn a' Chlaidheimh in the distance.

On Monday we were up early and walking before 7am. A long 30 km and 1100 metres of ascent to bag our first Fisherfield munro - Beinn Tarsuinn.

An incredible,12 hour day made by the views from the summit, and the personal challenge of making it happen.

Skye had a good swim in Lochan Fada on the way back. And eventually back at the van and post-dinner she just crashed out on her bed!

Skye the border collie, and her red rucksack containing her lunch, walking on a path through heathery mountain landscape. Above is a ridgeline which we'll climb to. The weather is sunny and perfect blue sky.

Skye standing amongst heather on a steep slope, she's looking straight at the camera. Behind is a glimpse of a mountain peak.

Skye looking up a steep slope of rocky terraces to a mountain summit. She is attentive as she has seen, or heard, humans which we cannot spot amongst the rough ground.

Skye on a rocky mountain summit looking down at the view. Behind her are many more mountain peaks and glimpses of lochs. It's still a fine day with few distant puffy clouds.

Meall a' Ghiuthais from top of The Mountain Trail the other day, with a guy in the foreground for scale! Skye going off to say 'bye!' as we'd walked with him a while on the way up.
