The team lined up and ready for another medical practice annual CPR and AED training update course. Fabulous group of dedicated doctors and nurses brushing up on essential emergency skills. #firstaid #firstaidtraining #firstaidtrainingcourse

Magical weekend on Islay. Scotland is stunning and in places quiet, under blue skies quite breathtaking. #beautifulscotland #scotland #westcoast #islay #scottishislands #seakayaking

Idyllic on Islay. Lovely quiet place with some stunning spots somewhat off the beaten track. Dog exhausted! #islay #vanlife #seakayaking

Fun day on Islay enjoying the beaches and practicing kayak self rescue observed at a distance by a chunky seal. BBQ evening then time to feed the midges. #islay #scottishislands #kayaking #seakayaking

Lovely day on Ben Nevis today despite rather foggy conditions - a few welcome breaks revealed masses on the top enjoying the intermittent view!

Lovely day on Curved Ridge today enjoying midge free warm weather with Dan and Dani and working for @westcoast_mountainguides They did incredibly well bridging the gap from bouldering to serious mountain scrambling but looked at home. So we made it more interesting by coming down Lagangarbh Buttress. Made more interesting with a heavy rain shower but compensated by an abundance of ripe blueberries! @ami_professionals #scotland #scottishhighlands #highlands #scottishmountains #scottishmountaineering #scottishrockclimbing #rockclimbing #glencoe #glencoescotland #mountainguiding #mountaininstructor

Just about dried out from last weekend where I spent two days guiding in the SE Cairngorms. Saturday gave us torrential rain, poor visibility and winds of over 50 mpg – it was a blast!

Fabulous trip out to Barra, Uist, Harris, Lewis and Applecross. Interesting times with the pandemic still very much alive. Hard at times to know whether the islands are open for business. Some camp sites were open, many tourist establishments were closed. There remain plenty of places to park up for the night now that the ‘festival’ season is past. at its height it was apparently pandemonium in places!

Still following guidance of 5 miles travel to activities. Getting a little local climbing done as we are fortunate to have some dolerite quarries near by.

In between rather unpleasant weather we three headed up North Buttress on Buachaille Etive Mor. Slipping all over the place on verglass on approach.

What a fabulous start to the winter. Fingers crossed for more blue skies and stunning scenery.

Winter is not far off now so thinking about preparing for the early winter work and play. Dusting off, waxing and sharpening – winter kit that is :)

Summer seems to be rushing by, is it me or the weather? After a great 4 weeks in India and some wonderful trekking in the Himalayas I am now dodging the showers and hoping for a good enough breeze to keep the midges at bay ………. in Torridon :)
