First walk up Goatfell in 2012

It's been somewhat stormy lately, but the weather finally decided to have a sunny-and-not-too-windy break, so ... I went up Goatfell :D




Some of the storm damage. Quite a few trees & branches fell off in recent storms. Brodick Castle has closed its park due to storm damage & put up DANGER signs and red tape across some paths. National Trust has cleared the larger damage from the paths.


Part sun, part cloud, part rain weather. It was raining when I took this photo, but the break in the clouds can be seen coming over the ridges. & the start of a rainbow ...


The rainbow was magnificent! Made Goatfell look like a hill.


Almost at the top & the path is blocked by the snow. Mushy, slushy, quite compact, plenty skidding, over foot deep snow over a rocky path, so ... went straight up, cutting across heather, grass & rocks to get to ...


... the top of Goatfell. Great view, freezing wind, lots of sunshine :D

Catching snow on the first day of spring

Glen Rosa 17th February 2010

Thought we've had the last of the snow this winter, but, no, some fell last night & this morning mountains looked gorgeous. So, of course I went for a walk :)
Would have loved to get all the way to the saddle, but as it happened my wellies weren't that comfortable for a 3h walk, still I'm happy I wore them as the snow on the ground was melting fast by midday.
Here's a view of Glen Rosa towards the Saddle.

Here's to the last day of 2009

HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Goatfell this afternoon.

Washed up on the beach

Walk in the forest in the foothills of Goatfell

The full Moon this evening. I'm always mesmerised by the Moon & today it's absolutely beautiful, my camera doesn't do justice to it.

Views exchange

On our last morning in Lamlash was greeted with this spectacular sunrise

Simply HAD to get to the beach to capture this one.

This is the view from my study now (snow fell during our move)

Can see Goatfell from the window too :D (I've been at the top!... and so are thousands of others)

This was the view early in the morning

Slightly later first rays of sun showed up

:D
