Beautiful light over Dalmally this morning, but that might have been the last day for shorts on the summits this year - windchill definitely made it feel like autumn 🏃‍♂️ 🏃

Team responded to a casualty high on Ben Cruachan last night with multiple fractures following a fall. Team located casualty and packaged and stretched them below the cloud level and winched onboard Coastguard helicopter Rescue 199 just as light was failing.

A running pal returned north this weekend and motivated a traverse of Glencoe from west to east (running away from the thunder!) - Decided we probably aren’t as fit as we used to be 🥵

Very proud of @maxhollo who finished the Jura Fell Race in 4hr13 & just 6 days after winning the all rounders category in the three islands peaks race. (All while I mainly ate ice cream).

Took our growing bump hill walking 😍After 3.5 months without mountains, was wonderful to be back hiking again with @maxhollo. 3 new Munros brings me 1/4 way to bagging them all (72/282). Saved some easy ones for second trimester, today were the Cairnwells from @GlensheeSkiArea

Thanks @davidjlintern for the opportunity to write our car-free door to door Hebridean Way backpacking trip for this month’s @TGOMagazine. Thank you @maxhollo for producing the map - which includes the sea bed topography for any oceanographers out there.
