What a relief! After being 'confined to barracks' all Sunday while Storm Kathleen continued to rage, the winds finally abated somewhat on Sunday night.
Even better, our nice Torridon neighbours invited Gail and me to join them on a hillwalking expedition the next day.
Here I am on the Beinn Alligin ridge. You just can't beat that 'top of the world' feeling.
Oh and yes, it was still a wee bit breezy on the summit.
In fact, the humans deemed it too 'breezy' to continue along the ridge and do the full circuit, so we stopped at the first peak, Tom na Gruagaich, and went down again.
It's a steep ascent/descent and I did notice Gail walking a bit funny the following morning. But don't worry, I was fine!

ReplyDeleteWell Nobby, glad to hear you are none the worse for the trekking. Pawhaps you could offer Gail some leg massage? Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
I like the windblown look, Nobby.
ReplyDeleteI do hope Gail only exercised some muscles unaccustomed to descent and didn't do herself any injury. As for you Nobby - can you actually growl out any of those Gaelic place names? Those peaks behind you in the last shot look like you could be somewhere out in a Saudi desert!
ReplyDeleteGail says: rest assured, it is, as you guessed, just some temporary soreness in the muscles (quads) used on steep descents.
DeleteWow - what a view you have from way up there, Nobby!
ReplyDeleteso glad you could get out and about even if it was to the TOP of the world. Beaus mama is walking a little odd, but that is due to hauling the tree limbs bob cut off the powder puff to the curb, this too shall pass
ReplyDeleteNobby Top WFT at the top of the world. WOW what gorgeous pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe thank you and Gail and your neighbors for temporarily becoming mountain goats so that we could enjoy the photos.
Gail those hills and terrian made my knees hurt
Hugs Cecilia
What a beautiful place to go for a hike, Nobby. That sure is an amazing view.

You are king of the world
ReplyDeleteWow! You are take some great walks, but this one was spectacular! Looks like it was a very challenging hike, so your Gail has ever right to be a bit sore! You have 4 legs, but she has only 2!
