Hill Walking


Today I was working for UHI at the WHC in Fort William with the second years on the Adventure Tourism management BA course. Today started their year 2 hill walking module. They have already done a lot last year as well as some winter mountaineering, so today was a reminder of old skills and introduction of some new. The weather was predicted to be awful with winds on the high hills gusting up to 80mph, but as it turned out after a spell of heavy rain, just before noon, it started to settle - so unfortunately they didn't get the full test of personal management, but I did discover that my waterproof trousers - are not!

The day started to clear up earlier than expected.

In the background is Ben Nevis. Apparently there was some type of snow fall in the Cairngorms today - and so it starts :) ... Today I even got my flask out for a hot drink...

The summit of Meall Bhanabhie (327m).

The sun did come out and I even had to borrow some sunglasses for the drive back! It turned out to be a great day.
