Scrambles and storms in Torridon

9 June: Last week saw some more training for the big walk, this time in Northwest Scotland. Weather wasn’t quite as good as in the Brecon Beacons - 70mph gusts, plenty of rain, occasional horizontal hail, etc - but I got a view on every summit except one, so I think I was pretty lucky. Here I am having just survived the Pinnacles on the majestic Liathach, which I’ve wanted to climb since childhood
