Sunday 19th April We've been out a few times, mostly to Contin, or the Woodland Trail, but not taken any photos as the weather has not been inspiring, or any sunshine poorly timed with commitments. With a forecast of sunshine and showers we parked up at the Red Hut and headed for the stepping...

Monday 6th April A long walk to Fionn Loch from Poolewe. The weather forecast was for sunshine, but alas, all rather grey and bitterly cold. a7c02358 20260406 a7c02397 20260406 The jetty on Fionn Loch - our destination. Windy here so we hid from it in the lee of the boat shed to have...

Thursday 2nd April With a half-day of rare sunshine between days of rain, we went across Glascarnoch Dam again. a7c02117 20260402 a7c02181 20260402 a7c02223 20260402 a7c02298 20260402 a7c02323 20260402

Monday 23rd March Across Glascarnoch dam and along to the Vaich Power Station - a small part of the Conon Hydro Scheme. With impeccable timing between the heavy showers we had a dry walk. a7c02073 20260323 Friday 27th March Hiding from the wind and rain in Contin woods, again. The...

Friday 20th March A birthday outing to the west. Stopped at Glas Leitre for a wee walk, and swims for Skye in Loch Maree. Paul bought me a very nice, and compact, Voigtländer Classic 40mm F1.4. Slioch, because you can't have too many photos of Slioch. a7c01928 20260320 Posing on the cairn...

Wednesday 18th March With a good forecast we headed west... into the rain. Sigh. We stopped at the Red Hut for a walk along the track. Unimpressed! a7c01862 20260318 Garbh Choire a7c01871 20260318 a7c01872 20260318

Saturday 14th March I was in need of another good long walk but the weather forecasts were rain, or wind and rain. We ended up at Contin for twice round the View Rock Trail and then since it looked like it was brightening up a bit to the west pottered up to Loch Glascarnoch again. After waiting...

Friday 6th March An easy stroll along the Loch Glascarnoch track. I took a Zeiss 50mm Biogon and a film era Olympus 135mm on the A7c. and thoroughly enjoyed using them. I've been getting frustrated with AF just not focusing on Skye especially when moving towards me. a7c01276 20260306...

You could bike the boring track bit. Some keen folk bike all the way to Lochan Fada but it's really rough in places and I'd want a really good ebike to get that far!

Tuesday 3rd March We took the long walk to Lochan Fada. Beinn Eighe from the track to the Heights of Kinlochewe a7c00992 20260303 a7c01046 20260303 a7c01054 20260303 Loch Gleann na Muice and a backdrop of Fisherfield hills a7c01095 20260303 Lochan Fada and Slioch a7c01188 20260303

Saturday 28th February A stroll round the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve Mountain Trail to wake the legs up from their winter slumber. Whilst the trail is short the ascent is rough and steep. a7c00692 20260228 but cracking views a7c00732 20260228 a7c00787 20260228 a7c00850...

Tuesday 24th February A stroll round our local beach loop. a7c00520 20260224 a7c00532 20260224 a7c00578 20260224

Sunday 22nd February A walk at Contin, where we found a big digger destroying everything around it for a compound on the Western Isles HVDC cable route. - it's going in under the forest track and then across to Fanellan, near Beauly. Lots of signs warning of 'forest operations' and delays. So...

Wednesday 18th February We abandoned other plans thanks to the wind, so we had an explore at Gruinard Bay. Headed along the Inverianvie River to Eas Dubh a' Ghlinne Ghairbh - a waterfall. a7c00358 20260218 The path consisted of obnoxiously sized rocks interspersed with ice a7c00376...
