Sunday's walk up Little Gruinard river

Looking upriver from the start of the walk along the fisherman's path. lot's of water coming down, probably due to snowmelt from the mountains. The path looked easy at first, but was quite hard going in places & very wet-mostly under water.

One of the many deer to be seen alongside the road from Aultbea to Poolewe.

Saturday's walk at Flowerdale

Took a hitherto, unknown path, up above the dale & rewarded with superb views. The "sepia look" is due to the late sunlight & stormy conditions. This one takes in the old bridge, the new road bridge, harbour & across the bay to Badachro & beyond.

Scot's pine in all it's glory.

Saturday started off wet & windy for our JogScotland run, up Flowerdale, one of the wettest we've encountered so far. Later, it cleared so we walked up the north side of the glen & due to the weather & light conditions, were rewarded with superb views across the loch. We followed the deer fence for as long as we could but eventually, were beaten back by fallen trees (probably from the great storm of 2005) & had to retrace our steps uphill.

Superb sunset tonight

Looking to Skye.

Just after 6pm. If you enlarge this (left click on the pic) you can see snow on the tops.

Some evidence of yesterday's snow

From Laide beach, looking north, a storm is coming from the west across the Summer Isles.

Snow comes back

Yesterday, we had about 2ins of snow during the morning & early afternoon. Great! Spent (lovely, warm & dry) Sunday, putting plants in the garden - will they survive? Moved the BT (Biscuit Tin, aka Hijet) down to the museum car park, as we learned not to get snowed in again after the last time.
A Jimny is on order so we'll have 4wheel drive ready for the next time. BT gets to stay as we're sacrificing the Tranny which has done it's work.
