We left the 'kids' to do their own thing today, and we headed up Beinn Sgulaird. Another single Munro with a lot of elevation, as there were lots of ups and downs to eventually reach the summit. We had a lovely warm, windless, slightly misty, occasional rainshower, sort of day. Perfect for walking. This sheep found us of interest, clearly! We never met another soul on the hill.
Today we're spending the day with the kids in Oban before we all head off in our own different directions - ours to Glencoe, theirs to Loch Fyne. This nice spell of weather seems not likely to last, and we're looking at rain again in Glencoe. Let's hope there's not too much and that we can get those Glen Etive hills done this time, having had to leave them behind on our last trip here.
Such a magical capture of this beautiful scenery, That sheep looks absolutely fabulous up there., what a great find and shot. Good luck with the weather, hope you make it this time.
I remember Glen Etive! Glorious place and that winding roadway used in Skyfall for that chat between James Bond and M when they were escaping in the DB5. Hope your weather holds, all a bit dreich here today.
@casablanca Yes, we have 5 Munros to do there are they're proving quite elusive. Last trip we aborted one and didn't even get a chance at the others. This trip is looking a bit better, but not a given. If we get all 5 we will feel good, if not, well, I suppose there's always another day. It's a long drive in to the start points - right at the end of that twisty, single track, Skyfall road!
A mountaineering goat! He looks triumphant! Happy climbing! Our daughter & SIL & friends climbed the Howgills at the weekend. Beautiful pillowing ones completely different to yours!
I don’t think it’s you, I think it’s a man. He stated where he lived, and he said something to the effect of, ‘Home of many sheep standing in the rain.’ I like this because there’s all these huge hills and this one sheep who you can tell is living probably wildly because of his wool being so disheveled.it looks like he is a goat?
A pleasant encounter and seems like the perfect shot to take atop an area known for its shaggy residents. I hope the remainder of the trip is as successful!
