So I’ve left Scotland all behind and am now back home in Pembrokeshire, but got inspired by some of the Scottish landscapes I saw this winter, so thought I’d do a quick blog to remind myself how nice it can be up there! We endured some pretty grim and desperate days, leading to lots of important decision to be made on the hill both with clients and when out climbing and skiing personally, we saw plenty of avalanches, got blown off our feet, soaked to the skin and colder than cold, but at every turn we saw dramatic and inspiring Scottish landscapes..
Back home now in sunny Pembrokeshire it’s easy to forget how many dire and testing days we had in Scotland, and view it with rose-tinted spectacles! But there were some truly magical days, when the views stretched from Skye to Schiehallion, great powder days, perfect ice and days with good friends, and some fantastic Scottish landscapes, so here’s a few pictures to remind me what we’re missing out on down here (mountains!):
