Description

Beinn an Lochan Argyll Scotland ^^/\^^ I had Monday and Tuesday off work this week. I drove up north in thick, dark freezing fog this morning, wondering why I bother getting up at 5:45am on my day off. About an hour after I started walking uphill, the gloom started to lift and suddenly I was up into clear air above the most spectacular temperature inversion. I was in for a visual treat, as the mountains of Argyll poked up out the quilt of low cloud, stark black on one side of me and lit up red and golden on the other. Beinn an Lochan at 901m is a tough little climb with huge drops and some difficult (and icy) scrambling, but knowing that everyone else is busy at work, way down there in the gloom somewhere, makes every scary step worthwhile! Thanks for viewing
