Walking my dog Skye

Sunday 13th September

I fancied going up to Meall a' Ghiuthais above the Beinn Eighe Mountain Trail. Without any breeze at all the midges were absolutely horrendous, I put some Smidge on and although it didn't affect my lungs, after a while I just could not generate any oomph. Definitely some allergy or thing going on there. So we skipped the hill and made do with just the Mountain Trail.

Saturday 3rd October

The weather forecast for Saturday wasn't looking great but I needed a change of scenery. We had an overnight in the van and headed for the Red Hut. Whilst we were amongst the trees the wind was quite reasonable but over the high point before dropping down to the gorge the wind was bashing us about and mixed with rain. As I was standing there contemplating and looking at the view Skye decided she'd had enough and headed off back! Hmm, yeah well, fair enough so we turned round.

Nice enough...
