Overnight trip with Moray, camping by Lochan na h-Earba.
This glen is about to be dammed and flooded as part of a huge pumped storage scheme, so the area will become a construction site for the next few years, and be irrevocably changed thereafter. So it was an opportunity for possibly a final visit before the work starts and the damage becomes apparent.
Central Highlands, Scotland.
Happy International Mountain Day.
Far fewer summits this year, but a lot more exploring passes through the hills. So not so many impressive pictures of pointy things.
1. Glen Avon, Cairngorms.
2. Lochaber, looking towards the Mamores.
3. Geal-Chร rn, Ardverikie.
4. Seana Bhraigh.

After a few low level 2- and 3- day treks, Moray and I decided it was time to up our game and do some hills.
A 2-day high level walk picking up the four #Ardverikie #Munros which form the ridge to the north of #BenAlder. I've done them as a fairly straightforward single (long) day walk before, usually from #Culra bothy, but took the opportunity for a more relaxed 2 day outing with a high level camp. And our first Munro of the year (eventually!).
