Saturday saw the first snow of the winter, not too bad though, roads were clear enough for cycling by mid-morning although there were a few "moments" in the slush at the top section of the Lords Throat road.

Walk from Seaview Towards Cuan
Sunday, final day of the hols, needless to say, best day yet. Warm and sunny. Went over to Seaview on the way to Elenabeich, light breeze but a long swell coming in from the Atlantic thet led to some great waves.

Walking The Dogs!
Weather a bit iffy on Saturday. Managed to use the excuse of taking thre neighbours dgs for a walk to coax Ellie round a the local hills. Usual fabulous views across Luing and Scarba across to Colonsay. Lost Julie to some blackberry picking on the way home...........however all enjoyed the resulting blackberry and apple crumble!
Friday was a trip up to Loch Creran for a family cycle. Parked at the Sealife Centre and used the new Sustrans cycle Network track up to Loch Creran and then around the loch on the old road. Fabulous weather and beautiful views up to Bein Sgulaird and Bein Fhionnlaidh.
Big issue was the size of Isobel in comparison to the size of the bike! Oh well, guess that's the Xmas list getting a little longer!

Autumn Colours At Achnacloich
Wednesday saw a trip to Poppies for coffee (for coffee read obscenely calorific cakes) then on to Achnacloich garden (to walk off some of the recently absorbed calories) where there were some beautiful autumn colours although the weather was a little driech!
End of Season Kayaking
Monday saw a beautiful evening, flat calm and a Spring tide in the evening along with a magnificent sunset. Perfect for an evening Kayak.
Munro Bashing!
Great start to the holiday last week. Ellie was away at a friends' so Isobel Julie and I took the opprtunity to go hillwalking. Bagged a couple of Munroes in behind Ben Cruachan, Ben Eunaich and Ben A Chochuill. As you can see, not the warmest of days to start with!
A quick cup of tea on top of Ben Eunaich did the job and Isobel was not to be denied her second munro of the day so it was on to Ben A Chochuill. Her tally now a respectable 8 Munroes..........no turning back now.......just 270 or so to go!

Oh well , guess I'll have to go round them all over again!
