A few memorable days out in 2015. The highlight of a wettish week on Mull was the linking of Beinn Chreagach and Creachan Mor and the return along the cliff edge all the way to Carsaig. This was in company with Gibson and Sheila Fleming. Gibson found a camera on the cairn of the first hill and will be happy to reunite it with its owner, on request.
I really enjoyed a day trip from Mallaig to Knoydart for the full traverse of Druim na Cluain-airighe, some fine hill country and the fleshpots of Inverie afterwards. And as a Highland resident over 60, the ferry is free.
However, the best hill moment of the year was when I left the tourist trail on Ben Macdui and dropped into the Garbh Uisge Mhor. This is a corrie I have visited many times when ski-touring, but in summer it is a magical place of peace and harmony, with meandering burns and late-lying snow wreaths.
