Bad weather continuing in the Highlands, we decided to try our arm at a crag we've never been to before. The gloom of high temperatures and rain showers can always be pushed aside by the anticipation of what this new venue might hold...
Quite often in Scotland, you'll walk through a damp swamp safe in the knowledge that the snow will still be clinging defiantly to the crag. Sometimes you just have to hope...
...And sometimes there's just nothing to climb when you get there. What does one do at this point? It's only about 7 in the morning and you're now wide awake. You can stomp off in a grump, or if you're a keen bean try and find some outrageous upside-down rock to cling on to. If, like me, you're a learner driver, you can just get back in the car and go and practice your driving. Up the highest road in Britain.
Those hills you can see in the distance are on the Isle of Skye. This is the best place EVER to go and practice your hill starts.
Well, not according to the authorities. Whoopsies:

Wow. You have better places to drive over there. When I was learning, I was in a parking lot. Wah-wah...
