There is snow on the Cuillins. The first this year. Winter is come and the days are short. Feelings of gradual decay are no longer the dominant. Instead the idea of sleep and blankets comes to mind. I’m now indoors in the warm. Much of the winter visuals are to do with cosiness and scenes like this one are kept in the mind’s eye. They enhance the contrast. Warm, cosy soft evenings and nights versus the cold jagged mountains in the great outdoors.
The Black Cuillin are the most spectacular and challenging mountains in Britain. These are peaks of which dreams are made - and nightmares! Many of their summits require scrambling or even rock-climbing to reach. There are several shorter walks that enable less experienced walkers to experience something of their drama, alternatively why not hire a guide to help you complete that particularly difficult route.
Another stunning day and once again the Cuillins have a cloud duvet this evening.
Contrary to popular belief this is not a swarm of midges... although an understandable mistake given recent days 🙄 🙂
