Long Winter
02/05/10
After a couple of weeks of milder
weather in March the winter returned with another long spell of
calm high pressure and bitterly cold temperatures on the summits.
This lasted well into April when these pictures were taken during a
winter round of An Teallach.
Here the group is approaching the rounded summit ridge of Sail Liath - the beginning of the An Teallach ridge.
And this picture looks south-east to over the Fisherfield wilderness. Spring conditions have gradually won through in the North West and gofurther Scotland has been busy at the crag and on the summits throughout April and into May - perhaps these will be the last pictures of full winter conditions for some time.

Short days in Carnmore
10/01/10
Go Further also reached the wild spot
of Carnmore in the heart of the Fisherfield Wilderness at the turn
of the year. A very special place just after a heavy fall in the
middle of the cold snap. The quickest way into Carnmore is
an eight mile hike from Poolewe on the coast.
This shot (above) shows evening light on Carnmore Crag on the way into Carnmore and the picture below shows the famous Carnmore bothy. Not the best bothy in the area, but one of the best locations in the whole of the Northern Highlands for climbing and mountain walking.

Fisherfield Wilderness

Sometimes we come across a picture
that captures the atmosphere of Wester Ross better than any words
can convey. Here’s one of them. Thanks to our good friend Jim
Buchanan who runs Wild West Topos for the image.
The picture looks south east across part of the Fisherfield Wilderness over to Torridon in the background.

Spring 2009
08/04/09
Here are a couple of images from our our early season so far. The official start of Spring 2009 brought with it a few days of warm, sunny and calm weather. Wonderful hill walking conditions. The first picture looks north east from Beinn Airigh Charr (791 meters) over the beautiful Fionn Loch towards the remote Fisherfield Munros. The second is a picture of the two famous Munro peaks on the An Teallach ridge: Sgurr Fiona on the left and Bidein a Ghlas Thuill on the right.
