Thinking about it

I'm off

The last couple of days Ben has been guiding on Skye for me. Unfortunately the two guys he's been taking out on the Cuillin haven't had very nice weather conditions, hence the lack of photos! Wet and windy for much of the time but they've bagged three Munro summits of  Sgurr a Mhadaidh and Sgurr a Ghreadaidh on Sunday and Sgurr Mhic Coinnich today
Here in the Northern Cairngorms we had low temperatures and a stiff breeze. There were a few quite short drizzly showers but it was mainly a fine day to be on the hills and no midges! Glad to see the back of those horrible beasties from a week or so ago. Much more comfortable temperatures just now.
Another day out with the camera with the Mountain Hare and Ptarmigan again. Quite low numbers of both in the corries, a bit unusual. Hopefully with Autumn in sight they'll be gathering in flocks. The Mountain Hare of course on their own this time of year. And what a fine sight they are with their dark pelage just now.
