[ad_1] Today was our last open Aonach Eagach Traverse of the season and I was joined by Mhairi, Matt and Trish. We made the summit of Am Bodach in good time, but in doing so, walked up into the clouds. Fortunately, the clouds didn't linger for too long and the rock soon started drying out, […]
[ad_1] With only Sgurr nan Gillean and Am Basteir left to do before Darren completed all the Munros on the main Cuillin Ridge, we made our way up to Coire Bhasteir this morning in more rain than we expected. There's a theme here! It wasn't a day for hanging around, so we quickly made our […]
[ad_1] Wetter than expected on the Cuillin Ridge today. Darren and I got caught in the first shower of the day whilst we were traversing Hart’s (Collie’s) Ledge to then join the summit ridge of Sgurr Mhic Choinnich. This shower didn’t last long and we were… More [ad_2]
[ad_1] A day of mixed weather on Skye today, with a couple of showers through the morning as Mike, Darren and I made our way round Sgurr Nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor and over to Sgurr Alasdair. Whilst on Sgurr Alasdair, the skies cleared, giving us some excellent views of the Cuillins and beyond. Quite […]
[ad_1] I was back on the Aonach Eagach today, but in a different capacity to Friday, as I was acting as safety cover on a section of the ridge to ensure that the competitors were staying on course and keeping them safe. We made a quick ascent up to Am Bodach and along the ridge, […]
[ad_1] The sunshine and great weather continue. With most folk wearing t-shirt and shorts today, it was hard to believe that we're almost at the end of September, but as ever, the Scottish weather has a habit of throwing in some very pleasant surprises (and more often than you might think!). I was back out […]
[ad_1] It's been a while since I was last on the Aonach Eagach and today was the day for it! I was out with Hilton, who is visiting from the States and gearing up for the Glencoe Skyline Race on Sunday. He wanted to recce the technical sections beforehand, so with such an amazing forecast, […]
[ad_1] The weather has certainly kept us on our toes over the past couple of days, with the winds changing all the time. Fortunately, the forecasts have been reliable and so with a bit of juggling, we've been able to make the most of the past couple of days. Yesterday, with the winds forecast to […]
[ad_1] Today, I was back to work on Skye and kicked off a 4 day Skye Munros Course. We tackled the southern three Munros; Sgurr Nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair. The day started off fairly dry, but soon the weather closed in, giving steady rain and low visibility for the rest of […]
[ad_1] For Dan and Ollie second day, with a reasonable forecast, we took our chances and headed for Raeburn's Arete, which takes a direct line up the blunt arete up to the First Platform on North East Buttress. Our plan worked, but not without getting a good soaking as the rains arrived much earlier than […]
