Walking in to Ben Wyvis by jamibann

Walking in to Ben Wyvis

Tuesday's walk was the relatively straightforward Ben Wyvis, the start of which you can see rising straight in front of the path through the woodland. The summit however was deep in cloud and it was very windy. Having been promised a straight up and down walk, hubby did his usual and decided at the summit that it would be better to head off the back of the hill and do a circular walk. Much more interesting. So, we trudged several extra km through pathless bogland and moorland to get back to the car, when there was a perfectly good path to follow. That's hubby for you. It's what he likes.
Is that the zig zag path up the centre of the 'hill'.. Looks quite a challenge and made more so by the extra challenge on the way back.

@julzmaioro Yes, it is the path zig zagging up, but the summit is a good bit further, and out of sight in the cloud.

An adventurer through & through then. Certainly not boring!

Great shot- it looks somewhat daunting from this angle but not for seasoned hikers like you.
May 25th, 2023  
Wonderful scenery - you amaze me with your walks and achievements!

A beautiful path among wetlands and blooming hare's-tail cottongrass.

I'm glad to see some green and even flowers. The summit looks a long way off.
May 25th, 2023  
Sounds like the kind of hiking I like!
Lovely trail!

Gorgeous scenery

I'm thinking how much this contrasts with the snowy scenes from just a few months ago -- but the wind and the challenges continue. Beautiful scene too.
May 26th, 2023  
Great shot! You certainly do get to go on lots of adventures with the pathless fella
May 26th, 2023  
Looks a fabulous path ahead.
May 26th, 2023

@haskar Yes, there was a lot of what we call 'bog cotton'. So pretty to see.
