Sgurr Choinnich Mor

Decadent, self indulgent, I know but I took a day off today. The forecast was mixed up a bit but a glass half full view suggested it might not be a bad day for the Grey Corries.
I put a few essentials in a rucksack and Caley and I headed for the hills. We did the main ridge which includes two Munros and numerous 3000 foot tops. The weather was indeed very mixed. While it was always overcast to some degree there were patches of blue sky, Ben Nevis remained in view for long spells but most notable were the columns of wintry showers that swept in. The hail stones were like icy needles and when they came they were transported in gale force gusts. The wind was so strong at times you just had to crouch down until the worst of it passed. I met one other walker (a fell runner from Sheffield) and he was taken by surprise by the ferocity of the gales when they came.
There were many fine blip opportunities and it was very difficult to choose one. This is the western outlier of the Grey Corries, Sgurr Choinnich Mor (Big Mossy Hill) and when I took this the wind was really strong. I like the fact that you can see an entirely separate storm sweeping up Glen Nevis but you can just make out the profile of Binnien Mor, the highest of the Mamore range on the south side of Glen Nevis through the incoming storm.
