Cycle home to Aberdeen harbour (to catch ferry to Orkney)

1130pm cycle from ferry to hostel. Put on lights but not strictly necessary.... Dry and mild - maybe Orkney is about to get some decent weather at last this year!

rest day - organising test race

Sore throat definitely coming on. Ewan had it about 10-12 days ago and S has had it for a week. Hope ot doesn't spoil the cycling hol.

rest day - organising test race

Rest day.

Walk up Munro near Achnasheen, mixed weather (hot sunshine and cold rain showers!) Out for 3 hours

Rest day - pretty heavy rain off and on all day, had a wander down to Red Point beach and messed about with E building dam across stream (it won eventually as always!)

An Teallach with S & E. Wild camping at top of Corrie Hallie path, along towards Shenavall then up Sail Liath and round side of pinnacles (cloud down), up to Sgurr Fiona and then Bidein a Ghlas Thuill. Down steep grassy slope to Loch and traverse round edge of Sail Liath to get to track back to tents. Down to Corrie Hallie.
Lots of goats - must have seen about 50-60 in total, including 2 billy goats having a real square go at each other - rearing up and crashing heads together.
Out for 7 hours or so.
