Long Winter
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

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.
