I'm beginning to think Gail's 'cycling' friends are not so bad after all.
Perhaps feeling guilty after reading my post on Monday, three of them decided to forsake their bicycles this week and came over to join Gail and me in our Torridon cottage. Undeterred by the atrocious weather forecast, they were keen to venture into the mountains on Thursday and, I note, came suitably equipped for the expedition.
The plan was an ascent of Beinn Damph.
These ladies keep up quite a fast pace. It's rare that Gail finds herself at the back of a walking group. As usual, I enjoyed plenty of off piste forays into the bog.
It was predictably ear-liftingly breezy on the summit ridge and the clouds were closing in, and even this hardy gang decided not to linger.
I'm pleased to report they were down off the hill in time for afternoon tea (carrot cake and paradise slice) at the Torridon Community Centre café.
Happy Nature Friday!
