Sunset and moon rise on Ben Cruachan

After a trip to the Oban area last week, I extended the excursion for a few days however encountering some of the wettest and windiest weather Scotland has ever thrown my way in the process. 

A bit of an ad hoc road trip ensued seeing me do and afternoon start on Ben Cruachan (primarily to avoid weather in the morning but a bit tired also!) and managed to avoid most of the high winds until on the ridge for the last section where I was getting thrown about on the snow, not fun. A beautiful sunset from the summit and returning via a nice moon rise and back at the car by tea time. Only one shower for 10 min but a brutal 10 min it was! It was good to get up into the snow line again and some decent footwork was required on some pretty solid stuff. See more of our photos here.
