Beautiful Winter Days in February

Go Further clients have experienced a series of special days on some of the north’s most famous peaks in perfect winter conditions.

Slioch - Wester Ross

In the first half of the month we found ourselves on Slioch - just north of Loch Maree (in the distance in the picture above with Torridon in the background). Here the group are just hitting the snow line at about 1500 feet.

Beinn Eighe from Liathach - Wester Ross

Later that week we moved south to Torridon where this picture was taken of the the main Beinn Eighe ridge from the Liathach ridge. For more details on Torridon see here.

Liathach - Wester Ross

Liathach is a special mountain at any time of the year but, combined with An Teallach and Beinn Eighe, can there be a better series of winter summits to aim for on the Scottish mainland?

Another great day out is to tackle the Black Carls on the Beinn Eighe Ridge - one of the best Wester Ross scrambles and, in the winter, a great mountaineering adventure. Here the group is heading onto the main ridge...

...and here (below) we are heading towards the start of the Carls.

Beinn Eighe's Black Carls

Here’s another picture of Beinn Eighe’s Black Carls with Stuart looking back east from the main ridge. This picture was taken on Easter weekend when there turned out to be good walking conditions, flurries of snow, but mostly dry and breezy with lovely spells of sunshine. The air was very clear giving spectacular vistas as far north as Foinaven and south to Ben Nevis.
The forecast for the week ahead looks good for Wester Ross and the North-West. Easterly winds, the Spring spell we all wait for, dry,dry,dry...

Scrambling on Beinn Eighe - Torridon

Scrambling in the North West is normally associated with mountains such as An Teallach, Liathach and Stac Pollaidh but there are many other venues where the scrambling is just as good or better. Torridon’s Beinn Eighe for example has some great scrambling on the Eastern end of the main ridge. These pictures show Sara and Paul practising their scrambling skills on the Bodaich Dubh (Black Carls) in fresh, windy weather in mid-april.
