Weren't expecting to get out as the weather looked horrible, but the forecast improved and there was a break in the weather in the afternoon. We drove the few miles down the road to Lynebeg and headed down the familiar track. The colours were beautiful in the afternoon light
We crossed the burn easily and started heading uphill
Looking back to Loch Moy as we climbed higher
There were a fair few people out and about today taking advantage of the weather window. The first and longest steep section was out the way and there was a bit of a respite for my lungs
Looking back towards Inverness and the Kessock Bridge
Meall Mor
We caught the very edge of a shower - not enough to get wet but a wee rainbow came out
Finally at the summit of Carn na h-Easgainn - bit windy for this!!
Malky's hair is taking over
Looking down to Loch Ruthven and Strath Nairn
The Glen Kyllachy wind farm
The weather was holding and we decided to continue the circuit - we continued along the track, unfortunately the wind was absolutely brutal
Finally the track started dropping down and turned so we were less directly into the wind
The viaduct
The wee shooting hut where we had sheltered from the rain last time we'd been here!
Finally we dropped down towards the farm - the wind had lessened fortuately
One dodgy river crossing later we were on the road - from here it was a few km back to the car, a lot more uphill than Malky was trying to persuade me
