A Little Wet and Warm In Glen Nevis

Ben Nevis - from Nevis Range on Monday morning

On a dry Monday morning, under a great sky of high clouds, and good visibilty, I was at work at the College at the Nevis Range with the H.O.L. students on their Mountain Biking assessment. It was mostly a completely dry day, with a little drizzle later in the morning. The clouds stayed high, and we were treated to another colourful sunset at the end of the afternoon. Well done to all the students on their assessment, there were only a couple of nav deferrals.

Today, the weather was very different, and there was no morning heavy frost, the temperatures were warmer, with the freezing level above the summits. It rained on and off all day. But even though the rock was wet, the groups from Outward Bound had great fun climbing and scrambling up Scimitar Ridge in Glen Nevis.
