streapadair > Bivvy on am Bathaich of Sgurr a'Mhaoraich. 11pm, 12/06/92 ~ K is tough and doesn't need a tent - just as long as she gets a nice cuppa . . .
streapadair > The Beinn Odhars from Sgorr Craobh a'Chaorainn. 2pm, 4/11/90 ~ I felt that Ghiubhsachain and his mates owed me one, after having given me an awful hammering in the radioactive rain of May 1986, and this crisp November day was payback time. By bike from the A830 to Guesachan Cottage, and a fine clockwise circuit of the knobbly horseshoe. I had guessed from the map that Meall Creag nan Leac might give a (possibly unique) view up and down the whole length of Loch Shiel, so I headed out to it for the last half-hour of sunshine. The sunset was what I had in mind, but it was a poor one, with the play of light on the hills to the north-east much more rewarding.

streapadair > Retrospect from the Carn Ghluasaid path. 11am, 21/4/85 ~ This was a simple two-day trip - from Loch Cluanie over to Glen Affric, a night in a bothy, and back again. Nothing very significant or memorable happened, but it was full of small pleasures and I recall it with the greatest affection. Spring weather at its vibrant best graced the first day, by this splendid stalkers' path on to Carn Ghluasaid, then over Conbhairean and Sail Chaorainn and out to Tigh Mor. The conditions, better conveyed by the photographs than in words, made it an easy decision to stay high and take in the Corbett of Carn a'Choire Ghairbh before picking up the path down by the Allt Garbh to White Cottage. The next morning was still and overcast, and with a better than even-money chance of an inversion (I thought) I set off early with high hopes, trotting down to Gleann na Ciche and up on to the Mullach by the shorter of its NE ridges. Sadly, if there was an inversion its ceiling was well above 1100m, and I never got a sniff of a view on the ridge to a'Chralaig, or until well down its SE shoulder. Ah well, can't win 'em all.
streapadair > Carn Ghluasaid from the north-west. mid-day, 21/04/85
streapadair > SSW to W panorama from Sgurr nan Conbhairean. 12.30pm, 21/4/85
streapadair > Satin and lace. 1pm, 21/4/85 ~ Spindrift blown upwards from the NE corrie of Sgurr nan Conbhairean.
