Skiing the Three Valleys from Les Menuires with James.
High tides in February 2024.
A winter walk up Ben Challum with Douglas with a great weather forecast. As it turned out, it was colder, windier (much windier) and cloudier than expected. Ah well, just need to try again.
Some fine winter weather on the Glencoe ski centre Munros - Meall a Bhuiridh and Creise. Two new ticks - numbers 211 and 212 for me.
A couple of days to spare for some hillwalking near Grenoble after my flying instructor revalidation test at Tallard in the southern French Alps.
Baking hot couple of days on Arran camping at Seal Shore.
Another Gigha club flyout. This time we managed one overnight, so an incremental improvement on the previous outing in May. Excellent weather all the way, though early morning low cloud in the east scuppered it for a couple of others trying to come along for the day - hopefully next time, Graeme and Mike.
Amazing holiday hillwalking in the French Alps from Chamonix. Six great days out in the hills and one day "off" to watch the Tour de France, in France - a first for us. Ironically, the cycling day is the day we walked the furthest!
The planned Gigha long weekend club trip had to be turned into a day trip for lunch due to the weather forecast. Nice flights over and back, but all very hazy and a bit overcast so not a day for aerial photos. Here we are on Gigha though - it was still great to be back.
An impromptu night under the stars - well, under the tent under the stars after the first warm sunshine of the year.
Skiing again in the Alps. After a very mild early winter snow was scarce in places but there was plenty up high at Les Arcs and La Plagne.
Wandering over to watch the receeding tide reveal the Aberlady submarines.
Taking advantage of still being in Edinburgh, we were witness to a piece of history and soaked up the friendly but respectful atmosphere on the Royal Mile for the Queen's coffin's procession from Holyrood to St Giles' Cathedral.
A very cool conversion of an old agricultural building near the foot of Liberton Brae. Three new houses with great views west to the Braids and Blackford Hill. We pass by on one of our many walks from Clackmae.
A great cycling holiday to Brittany and Normandy with a bit of walking about thrown in between the bike rides. Superb weather, roads and galettes all the way. We can’t wait to do it again. Overnights, in chronological order, in The English Channel (1), Dinon (1), Audierne (1), Carnac (2), Vannes (2) and Bayeux (2).
Perfect weather for walking the seven hills of Edinburgh today, starting and ending in Liberton. Blackford Hill, Arthur's Seat, Calton Hill, Castle Rock, Corstorphine Hill, Craiglockhart East, Braid Hills. With Julie and Douglas.
