After a day off, I was back in Skye and along with Jamie, running the third of our Cuillins Munro Courses on Skye.

The beauty of these courses is that we can juggle the days around to fit with the weather and with today looking the windiest for the next few days, we decided to go for Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a'Mhadaidh, which tends to be the shortest of the four days.

On gaining the main ridge at An Dorus, it became quickly evident that our choice was the correct one, as the winds and rain lashed the western flanks of the mountains.

We made both summits in good time and whilst it was wet, it wasn't quite as bad as the weekend!

Today was wet, very wet! It's been a while since I've experienced such wet conditions on Skye and fortunately, it looks like it won't be quite so wet in the foreseeable future!

I was back out with Ed and Jon and we braved the rain and tackled the southern three Munros on the main Cuillin Ridge; Sgurr Nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair. We did have to head quite far up the Allt Coire Lagan to find a suitable crossing point.

Needless to say, views were non-existent today and we didn't see anyone all day, but Jon and Ed still enjoyed the adventure, even if we did finish the day with wet pants! Dave was also out braving the weather on Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a'Mhadaidh with Emma today.

I was back out with Carole, who I had been out with last year, exploring some lesser nooks and crannies on An Teallach and Liatach. Today's adventure was no different, as Carole is on a mission to reach the summits of the Munros, Tops, deleted Tops, SIMs (hill over 600m with a drop of 30m all round) and ideally subsidiary SIMs. That's quite a list.

Anyway, I shan't list all the tops we visited today, but we did visit 13 of them, by walking up to Bealach Coire Mhalagain, then onto Faochag and Sgurr na Sgine, before crossing back across to Sgurr na Forcan, the outlier of Sgurr na Creige, The Saddle and a number of other summits before dropping into the picturesque Alt Undalain. It's great getting out and exploring all these lesser visited spots.

Brilliant weather for much of the day, with a few light snow flurries, but overall, dry and clear.

Over the past three days, I've been out with Blair, bagging some of the classic scrambles in Lochaber. On Thursday, we went for Curved Ridge, which was largely dry, although once in the clouds, things were a bit damp underfoot. We made our way round onto Crowberry Tower, which tends to be much greasier than Curved Ridge, but still gives some excellent scrambling.

On Friday, we tackled Castle Ridge, which whilst not quite as sustained as Curved Ridge, is definitely a bit trickier. From the top of Carn Dearg, we descended Ledge Route, to give a fantastic circuit.

With rain moving in from the west yesterday, we decided that we would leave the Aonach Eagach for a nicer day. Instead, we took the gondola at Nevis Range and made our way round to the West Face, where we climbed Golden Oldie. Despite it being more popular in winter, it still gives some excellent scrambling in the summer. Just be prepared for quite a bit of steep grass on the approach!

We have a few spaces left on various scrambling days over the next month:

With rain due for sometime in the afternoon, we decided to have a shorter day, by tackling Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a'Mhadaidh, which worked out well, as we were down just before the rain arrived.

It was a day of fluctuating temperatures, from very warm in the sunshine one minute, to bitterly cold as the easterly winds picked up the next. Again, we managed stayed dry throughout. To reach both summits, we made our way up to An Dorus, before scrambling up to the summit of Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh first. From there, it was a case of returning to An Dorus and then heading up Sgurr a'Mhadaidh. Five Munros ticked off, six more to go this week.
