We had a leisurely 2pm start up Sgor Gaoithe today, just because you can! Even at this time of year, with the nights drawing in, you can still get a good Munro hill day in from a late start. Sgor Gaoithe isn't a big day out and you can be up and down it in 5 hours. Having an early afternoon start meant we had the best of the sunshine as it was dull in the morning. It's also quieter. Not that this hill gets that much traffic, even at weekends. The light was ever changing as we headed up. Cloud, sunshine and some terrific shafts of sunlight poking through the gaps in the clouds. There were sudden changes from bright and clear spells to dark and moody conditions.
The colours in Strathspey are just wonderful right now. Probably the final week of colours in the leaves of the trees. With the strong winds they won't last much longer. Get out now and enjoy it.
Winter coming up next weekend! Low temperatures and snow showers for the high tops forecasted.
