Where: Torr Mor, 81m/266', P 63m, Tump, OS 40, NM 632 856 and Bourblach Hill, 118m/387', P 81m, Tump, OS 40, NM 671 942
It was forecast to be a hot day so I left Fort William early to drive to Arisaig. Torr Mor is situated on a peninsula to the west of the village and is a fine viewpoint for the islands of the Inner Hebrides. I found a parking place beside the beach not far from the end of the minor road. Torr Mor from the approach road and the walk starting point with Eigg and Rum beyond, they were a constant view all day.....
The ascent, which was rough in places but fortunately not long.....
I soon arrived at the cairn, Eigg and Rum beyond.....
The Ailort Corbetts to the south.....
View to Arisaig.....
Views to Eigg and Rum with pleasure boat heading out to sea.....
I then headed north past Morar to park on the main road in a lay-by at the start of a track to a communications mast near to the summit of Bourblach Hill. This was a nice easy walk to a mostly grassy top and again with great views of the islands. On the track heading up.....
Approaching the cairn.....
Looking down on the silver sands of Morar with the steam train leaving Morar station in the second picture. Good, but unintentional timing!
More views of Rum and Eigg.....
The Cuillin of Skye' also Blaven and the Red Hills were also just visible on the horizon.....
I had intended to climb a couple of other Tumps but it was hot so I went to Mallaig instead and then back to Arisaig and the cafe there.
