It’s bloody miserable out there. Cold too, and not that nice frosty cold, it’s a damp cold that you suck in with every breath, it lingers inside you, sapping your enthusiasm and draining joy reserves.
What of Creag Meagaidh? What indeed. I can’t face the drive without knowing I’ve got a good chance of it being clear, even patchy would do.
It’s such a great hill, and I know exactly the two shots I want for the Trail route (how’s that for uncharacteristic organisation?), but as nice as testing the Berghaus Temperance hood in a blizzard would be, those likely conditions do not help our mission.
So as I’m flicking through the computer at my folks’ I found some photies from a hike-a-bike to Gulvain a few years back. I remember it well, warm sun, cool air, a light haze softening the stark white streaks of snow lying late into the year. A fun ride in and out as well.
I want out.
If you don’t go you never know…
Don’t you worry, the bag’s packed…
Wish I was joining you out there in whatever weather than being stuck in a hospital for way too many hours. Hope you get the shots you want/need
I’m going up something pointy, even if it has to be fairly local this saturday no matter what the weather does. I’ll do it in a kind of cheery, yet determined bloody minded way.
I hope the weather window you want appears.
Not tomorrow, must placate customers, can’t Saturday, Joycee has a thing, Sunday and beyond…
Back Monday lunchtime so can scoot anytime after !!!!!!
Tuseday? That’s panic inducingly late, so that’ll probably be when I’ll go…
You only need the photos so it will be fine !!!!!!!
After Lomond in boots tonight it’ll have to be Tuesday…
