Thanks scroggin. Don't think your OH would like the top of B.Mor - although it's only the last 100 feet or so that's a bit narrow. Descent to the other one isn't brilliant - bit vertical Much better to do it the other way, but a tough shift anyway .
The route up to the junction of ridges is great though, and the views are terrific.
There was a little lad of ten doing B.Mor and Na Gruag. with his Dad - it was his 64th (and 65th) Munro. Pretty magnificent. He certainly earned his dinner that night! I don't know if they'd have fancied the ridge between the two Binneins, although not so bad doing it the other way and ascending the scree, so it was probably a good route, and they can always do B.Beag by it's normal, descent route. He was very able and full of running - not that I was jealous
Great to see youngsters out on the hills like that.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I love the sleety pic Pat - although it's always better looking at that from inside rather then out!
The jonquils are so pretty - at least you have that to take your mind off the cold
Since I've b*llsed up for today, I thought I'd put a few on of the Old Man of Stoer, and Stac Pollaidh etc, when I was up north a few weeks ago
En route to Stoer - Clashnessie beach. Looking north to ....well...the Faroe Islands eventually! It's small and tucked in, but round the corner, and to the west is Lewis and Harris
I had a lovely view from a sunny spot near the Stoer lighthouse
and the lighthouse itself is grand
round the coast for a couple of miles or so and you reach the Old Man of Stoer
where some chaps were having a climb
Walking back to where I'd left the car, in the early evening, the clag had eventually cleared on Suilven - my intended project that day. Too late unfortunately. Stac Pollaidh had been the only clear summit around - and that was for the next day, when I was homeward bound....

Sleet moving across the valley this afternoon.

Lovely, Pat.
Thanks Liri. It's still cold outside, as you can see.
Pat, your spring flowers are so cheerful but you can keep the sleet!
Thanks a Joyce. I don't really have much choice about the weather

Lovely blues. My camera isn't very good at blue.
Those chaps must be mad! My idea of hell, no good at heights.
