Some thoughts and reports from outings...
Blogs from some outdoor adventures.....
Possibly my favourite way up the Buachaille and certainly one of my favourite ways to spend an evening. With the days drawing out, we headed to Glencoe as most people were thinking of heading home. The weather was ok but set to improve as the evening drew on. After leaving Altnafeadh we took the familiar path round and past the waterslab, with the scrambling soon starting. The clouds started to clear and Rannoch Moor was lit up behind us as we leisurely picked our way up the ridge. It never fails to impress!
After enjoying the ridge I scrambled up Crowberry Tower to enjoy tea with a view - what a place! Soon I was joining Gerry on the summit of Stob Dearg, but the most tricky part of the day still lay ahead - the descent into Coire na Tulaich. Although well into May, substantial amount of snow remained. A simple slip would result in reaching the bottom in a world record time, so ice axes came out to aid our descent and possible any trip we could have encountered!! Another fine day on The Buachaille!
