Picture of a view over a loch (lake) on a dreich, grey, gloomy dayA bit different to the mostly bright and sunny views I post here, but somehow I like this picture. A rather gloomy and dreich day at Loch Càm north of Bridgend.

Walkers in the rain near Loch Drolsay, Isle of Islay

Picture of a group of walkers in the rain on a hillside above a loch (lake)Sometimes it does rain during the Islay walking week (most days the weather has been fine though). The rain doesn’t stop us from walking though, this is from a walk north of Bridgend, in the background Loch Drolsay.

Walkers between the southern hill forts, Isle of Islay

Picture of walkers on their way between two hill fortsThe hill forts along the south east coast of Islay allow for some interesting walking, here we are on our way between two of them. I believe the one ahead is An Dùn (on the right Loch Carn a’Mhaoil), but I’m not entirely sure. Oh, and those heavy dark clouds with the heavy rain never reached us, we were in the sun for most of the walk.
