Quite a tumultuous week.
On Monday the 22nd I was in Aberdeen to attend the funeral of a work colleague and friend, Colin Caie. Colin was an apparently fit, healthy, marathon running 38 year old who was unfortunately diagnosed with terminal cancer in March this year. He will be sorely missed.

22/06 – Colin’s Funeral
23/06 – Beinn a’Chaorainn & Beinn Teallach
24/06 – Glenfinnan Horseshoe
(Sgurr Thuilm & Sgurr nan Coireachan)
25/06 – Gulvain

The family had come up to visit over the weekend, with Lewis joining me for Braeriach on the Saturday 20th. We had a cracking day, with early morning cloud burning off by mid-day to give fantastic views across and down the Larig Ghru and down Glen Dee. Lewis did fantastically well! We celebrated with a BBQ on the shores of Loch Morlich.

Sunday the 21st saw me finishing off the Cairngorms on Sgor Goaith, and this felt like a real milestone had been reached. All the Munro’s south and east of the Great Glen have been climbed – just the 100 or so left in the north west!

The next few days should see me into Knoydart, Loch Quoich and then up into the Glen Shiel hills. Fingers crossed the good weather continues!
