The cloud was obscuring Beinn an Dothaidh as we headed into Coire an Dothaidh at the start of the walk although the bealach was clear

 

We remained clear of cloud at the bealach and had a clear view of Beinn a’ Chuirn

 

We soon entered the cloud as we continued our ascent to the West top of the Beinn Dothaidh ridge

 

While on the highest point on the Beinn Dothaidh ridge we had a brief view of Loch Tulla

 

Our group on the summit of Beinn an Dothaidh

 

Leaving the summit behind and heading to the final top of the day

 

Our descent to the bealach above Coire an Dothaidh took us through a particularly wet bog but we did have a view of the summit of Beinn Dorain as compensation

 

Finally after an arduous and seemingly never ending descent we returned to Bridge of Orchy
