Annat, on the Red River Valley

On this walk I met a Swiss long distance walker. He had abondoned his holiday plans for resumption of the Cape Wrath Way, mindful of difficult -in spate- river crossings. His obvious extensive research of other routes and the bothy system saw him on this tramp, having set off from Roy Bridge station. I would say he was carrying 20 kg on his back. The stop this evening was Luib Chonel then onwards to Glen Banchor near Newtonmore, I was guessing that was a good 20 miles. He said about 21, to the next bothy. He was a clever young man and he told me he had done similar exploration of northern Scandinavia. The naturally carved terraces he saw here, he likened to man made iron ore bings he had seen in Korona (I think) in the north of Sweden. Iron ore was once extracted in our Glen in more modest proportions. You see lower slopes of Ben Iron in the extra, summit in cloud.

Edit "KIRUNA" the world's largest underground iron ore mine. If you look at the first image top left you can see how Mateus drew comparison:
