Just returned on Friday from 5 days with Macs Adventures, walking in Glencoe and the Cairngorms with a great group of French visitors. It was lots of fun, despite mixed weather, and it gave me a chance to revitalise my spoken French! We covered a lot of ground, exploring paths in Glencoe and Arisaig, Glenlivet and Cairngorm - we even got some sunshine.
Then it was off to Skye for Saturday, and a change of plan that saw me on the Aonach Eagach on Sunday with Andrew. Great conditions for some fun on this fantastic ridge before he heads back down south and I head north to Sutherland this week. A real treat.
Actually, since leaving Arran mid July the pace has been hectic......
5 days in July were spent in Ardgour and surrounding area climbing Grahams - Druim na Sgriodhain, Sgorr Mhic Eacharna + Beinn Bheag, Meall Onfhaidh + Aodann Chleireig to name but a few. Some good weather but also some real low cloud.
I also helped Mark Clark to the summit of Hill of Stake - 2nd last point of his High Points Project, which he has now completed. There us a book to be published....
Then it was on to Slioch (still no views!) and An Teallach before sailing to Harris at the beginning of August for Kay's final Corbett. 11 of us celebrated her success on the summit of An Clisham. On the 2 following days a few of us tackled the 3 Grahams on the island before making for the coffee shop and the tranquility of Luskentyre beach in the afternoon sun - fabulous!
A couple of random photos......
