of the Coigach hill walks. There is a car park at the bottom and there are almost always a few cars parked there while their occupants scramble up the steep path to Polly's rocky top.One beautiful day Jack and I thought we'd nip over and do the climb. The air was warm and fresh with blue sky and fluffy white clouds. The climb is fairly steep but technically easy so even I had no real trouble reaching the top. One end of the mountain is fairly smooth - the other consists of a ridge of rock teeth and pinacles. Jack had done some rock climbing so he headed off to do the scramble over the ridge while I just sat in the sun and drank in the incredible view.
The wh
ole of Coigach was spread out below like a map. It was possible to identify all the villages and each individual mountain and loch. It was amazing how much of the land was uninhabited - beautiful lochs and beaches without a road anywhere near them. The view was glorious and it was heartening to know that not every beautiful spot in the world had a chain hotel or McDonalds spoiling the wildness of it.
