Before long it was a full blown gale magnified 10 fold at every corner or crossing the mouth of the many sea inlets. I crawled into Slig having averaged less than 10mph having fought for every yard of gain. Absolutely soaked, frozen and shattered, there was no way I could have gone over Glamaig or Garbh-bheinn,as to do so would have been dangerous folly. The rest of the evening was spent eating, and catching up on comms with you lot! Forecast tomorrow looks ominous and the boat is still stuch at the north of Skye due to the weather! mmm?<br />I still hope to make a bid to catch up first thing tomorrow...watch this space.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430048568989735216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182196236041988784.post-66408313431526692722009-04-26T20:36:00.000+01:002009-04-26T20:36:00.000+01:00Strange - absolutely gorgeous all day in the Borde...Strange - absolutely gorgeous all day in the Borders.
