http://lenstalk.com/albums/album101/L1001504_Daybreak_on_the_Paps_of_Jura_across_Loch_Fyne.thumb.jpg Binnein an Fhidhleir is the steep sided hill which runs the entire length of Glen Croe between Loch Restil, at the foot of The Rest and be Thankful, in the east and Loch Fyne in the west.Hoping to catch the sunrise over Loch Fyne and the peaks of the Arrochar Alps, I set off by the light of my headtorch on a morning full of promise to climb the steep, but easy, western ridge.Unfortunately, clouds rolled in from the east which, although giving some atmospheric lighting, snuffed out the promise of a fine sunrise. http://lenstalk.com/album60 f27f43af5797c2ae9d234c7a98859ae7 Tue, 2 Feb 2010 07:07:16 +0000 http://lenstalk.com/view_comments.php?set_albumName=album60

http://lenstalk.com/albums/album60/L1001467_Creachan_Mor_and_Clach_Bheinn_over_Loch_Eck_from_Be_001.thumb.jpg On a bright but cold winter's day, this little hill, in an area largely ignored by the "bagging fraternity", proved to be a real test and a great half day out.The hills of this area, nestling between the great sea lochs of Fyne and Long, do not rise above 700 metres but are extremely rough and craggy and substantially devoid of paths and, as a result, provide a real test for the hillwalker. The Graham of Beinn Ruadh is no exception and, especially on an icy winter's day, the steep route to and from the summit is a challenging exercise in finding the best and safest route around the many crags and gullies which skirt its flanks.As the images show, however, my efforts were amply rewarded with perfect photographic conditions and views which would be difficult to better. http://lenstalk.com/album111 ce1289241b87d9c614ab205ace94eb4a Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:12:54 +0000 http://lenstalk.com/view_comments.php?set_albumName=album111 http://lenstalk.com/albums/album111/L1001273_Stobo_and_Drumelzier_from_Trahenna_Hill.thumb.jpg http://lenstalk.com/albums/album111/L1001273_Stobo_and_Drumelzier_from_Trahenna_Hill.sized.jpg http://lenstalk.com/albums/album111/L1001273_Stobo_and_Drumelzier_from_Trahenna_Hill.thumb.jpg Needing a gentle return to hillwalking after a forced absence through a combination of the exceptional weather and a flu-like cold, I opted for a half day out in the fells around Broughton - not high or difficult but sufficient to get the blood pumping and situated wonderfully for views to the higher surrounding hills.The choice was ideal and a dull start gave way to perfect conditions for both hillwalking and photography. http://lenstalk.com/album108 adf0c95a09a85fcb08d13787ea80b9cc Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:07:21 +0000 http://lenstalk.com/view_comments.php?set_albumName=album108 http://lenstalk.com/albums/album108/L1000714_Tree_and_Moon.thumb.jpg http://lenstalk.com/albums/album108/L1000714_Tree_and_Moon.sized.jpg http://lenstalk.com/albums/album108/L1000714_Tree_and_Moon.thumb.jpg An early morning walk with my dogs in freezing temperatures saw some decent light and a lovely sunrise over the Clyde valley. http://lenstalk.com/album110 18234645c704c7345d3e9ae356a2d888 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:06:03 +0000 http://lenstalk.com/view_comments.php?set_albumName=album110 http://lenstalk.com/albums/album110/L1000956_Beinn_Dorain.thumb.jpg http://lenstalk.com/albums/album110/L1000956_Beinn_Dorain.sized.jpg http://lenstalk.com/albums/album110/L1000956_Beinn_Dorain.thumb.jpg Too windy and far too much snow for my flavour of hillwalking, I decided to go for a drive through the Trossachs, past Strathfillan, to Bridge of Orchy and Glencoe, on down the shores of Loch Linnhe and home by way of Loch Creran, Loch Etive and Loch Awe.260 miles travelled but a great day out and some fine views seen..!!
