Glencoe, Saturday 19th March 2011
We had to leave the house in Aviemore by 10am so thought I’d travel back to Glasgow via Glencoe, taking the Newtonmore – Spean Bridge road. It was a pleasant road and only an hour before I was passing Nevis Range ski area. Tempted though I was I passed through Fort Bill, picking up a […]

Another afternoon up the Gorm. Weather cleared as started cloudy.
