Anyone need a hug?
Beautiful conditions this morning on one of our favourite walks (and a check that the old Badenoch Way section which is getting overgrown is still passable!)

🏔️ ❄️ Stunning ramble up Ben Rinnes today!
🧊 🪓 To be honest I was just looking for an excuse to break out the ice axe for the season! Scored a “Brocken Spectre” in the distance at the top (second snap)!

Still lots of snow lying today at the eastern end of Strathspey - but largely gone from low ground at the western end.

Out in #Berwickshire today - snow fell wet unfortunately and the roads were skating rinks. Kept to the fields when possible. Descent from this modest hill (Haliburton Hill) through the snow was rather fun. #Fatbike #Lammermuirs

Heads up - it's been a long wait this year but don't be complacent - looks like proper winter conditions are finally arriving on the hills. Think about the kit you need and remember to check the MWIS Mountain Weather Information Service or @metoffice.gov.uk mountain forecasts.

One of Scotland's most popular wee hills, did you know Dumyat is pronounced 'DUMB-eye-at'?
An alternative to the usual shorter route from the Sherrifmuir road, we've just replaced our old Dumyat from Blairlogie route to make a fine circuit - live now.

Lunchtime broken spectre today, from Sgurr a’Mhaim, Ring of Steall. Quite magical, a day of shifting clouds and glimpsed views.
Now quite shattered after a 9.5 hour day. I’m obviously not as young as I used to be - last did that route 13 years ago, don’t remember it being so tough then!
