The quartzite peaks and ridges of Foinaven dominate the lochan-strewn wilderness of Northwest Sutherland, soaring to a height of 2980ft (914m) at the summit of Ganu Mor. Arkle and Ben Stack, with the distant pinnacles of Quinag, can be seen to the south, on the right of this painting, while the smoother profile of Meall Horn looms in the distance on the left. This is remote and lonely country, and achingly beautiful. To climb Foinaven has been a life-long ambition, now happily fulfilled, but the boggy approaches and steep scree slopes were daunting, and there were many temptations to turn aside to less strenuous goals. The view from the top, however, and the sense of achievement were well worth the sweat and aching legs. Commitment is the price of all that is truly worthwhile in life.
