Through The Pines... Meall a Bhuachaille




   Yesterday we were forced to have a rest day due to the poor weather and high winds, therefore the day consisted of an outdoorsy film instead.  Today we decided to brave the high winds to venture up Meall A Bhuachaille.  Unfortunately, the wind speed was higher than expected after we found ourselves nearly blown back down to the bottom of Meall a Bhuachaille.  Once at the top of Meall a Bhuachaille, Gwilym recorded a wind speed of 73.9mph on his device before being blown back behind the cover of the summit cairn!











   Tomorrow will be my last chance to get out in the Scottish Highlands before making my way back down to the very wet South West, Devon.  I am hoping that the weather will improve down there, as I would like to get back into climbing... if not than the indoor competitions will keep me entertained and Dart Rock Climbing Centre have their Winter Competition Series coming up, check them out here.
