Sunshine was in short supply for yesterday's walk through Coire Dubh Mòr.in Torridon. The aim was to head for Coire Mhic Fhearchair and see how far we got. The ford was fine despite all the overnight rain. But the wind was interesting - mostly 5 mph then I'd hear a 25+ mph gust coming and have to brace as it hit a second later. With a worsening forecast we turned around at the big cairn where the path splits. #Hiking #DogsOfMastodon #ScottishHighlands

There were some lovely reflections in Loch Glascarnoch today. We went looking for some sunshine and weren't disappointed. #Reflections #ScottishHighlands

I don't think Skye was impressed with that weather especially as it was heading for us. Overall the weather wasn't bad. Bit windy over the col of Drochaid Allt Toll Ghiubhais to really hang around otherwise the sunshine was still quite warm. #DogsOfMastodon #ScottishHighlands

We had a good stroll from the Red Hut, now painted green, to Loch na h-Oidhche. As I was taking a photo Wendy and her dog Cuillin caught me up and we ended up walking much of the day together. She'd forgotten to bring Cuilin's biscuits so Skye shared her lunch, which went down very well. There was a fair breeze coming off the loch making it feel pretty cold. Of course Skye had a good paddle. #ScottishHighlands #DogsOfMastodon

We went for a walk along the track on the far side of Loch Glascarnoch this morning. A bit misty and dull but nice to get out. Lots of motorcycles screaming along the road, their overtakes making other vehicles look like they were standing still. Later, at the first bend after Braemore Junction a bike is embedded in the crash barrier. Police and ambulance doing their thing. Not surprised as them and car clubs treat the Highlands as a race track.

Ah, the A82 alongside Loch Ness such a 'joy' driving it. Come up behind a queue of vehicles doing 40mph. Car at the head of queue decides they'll just stop in the carriageway, in the many wiggles. One car gets by and they set off again doing more like 50+ only to straddle the white line! A bit further on they drift into a layby on the other side and almost forget to stop. And that wasn't the only bad driving.
