Day out with Moray to Sgùrr an Utha, just north of the main road to Mallaig.
Started off in nice sunshine, but rapidly clouded over. The cloud base was around 800m, so we just escaped, but most of the surrounding hills were in cloud. A few flurries of snow or rain, and not much wind, so a reasonable day.
I’m sure there are spectacular views from the summit, but those will be for another day.

Framed by birch trees, looking across a road with a gate to a rocky hill, there is some snow at the top. Blue sky with clouds.
Moray the dog stood on a grassy and rocky hillside, the hills behind him can be just seen through the mist.
Moray the dog stood on a gravel track on a grassy hillside. Behind him there are more rocky & grassy hills, the highest points have some snow cover. Cloudy and dull.
Moray the dog stood next to s summit cairn of rocks with a lot of moss cover. It is hazy, some hills and a loch can be seen behind him.

Meallan nan Uan & Sgùrr a’Mhuilinn from Strath Conon.

An pre-birthday outing for Moray yesterday, summer conditions, a fairly short route picking up 2 Corbetts above Strath Conon. Although apart from the two summit ridges themselves, most of the walking was tedious terrain – boggy tussocky grass and heather – so it made for a longer day than expected. Very little snow on the bigger hills.

11.8km, 810m of ascent, 2 Corbetts.

We're on a grassy and rocky mopuntain ridge, with a coupld o fummits in the middle distance. Moray the dog is stood looking into the view. Blue sky with clouds

A hazy view of a mountain range in the middle distance. Mostly grassy in the foreground with some rocky bits. The distant hills have very few snow patches on them. Cloudy, blue sky.

Carr Bridge to Aviemore with Moray yesterday. A mix of forest roads and bike trails, and some moorland. Including a short section on a black bike route 😮

We started off following the route of General Wade's military road, then found a track that wasn't on the map which took us over the higher ground, before dropping into the woods above High Burnside.

A vehicle track through open woodland. The ground is heather and blaeberry, the trees are fairly mature Scots pine. Moray the dog is stood looking ahead.
An open bit of heathery and grassy ground, with a thick forest plantation in the middle distance. In the distance the tops of the high Cairngorms are just visible with a sparse coating of snow. Blue sky and patchy clouds. Moray the dog stood looking back at me.
A stream crossing a gravel forest road. There is woodland beyond, enclosed by deer fencing. Moray the dog is stood in the water looking back at me.
Looking across heather moorland. There are some mature Scots pines, and also some younger ones regenerating. Blue sky, patchy clouds.

Ben Rinnes is a distinctively shaped hill, always in the view from the Northern Cairngorms, & has always been on my to-do list. Today we did it.

Lovely bright sunshine, but the wind was baltic, and from the south so we had no shelter from it at all, apart from behind the summit rocks. Not a day for hanging around, so we just came back down the same way, total walk 3 hours.

With Moray in the county of Moray.

A gravel path up through a heathery hillside. Higher up is a rounded summit, then behind that a pointy summit, the top of the hill is white with snow. There are a few rocks in the foreground, with Moray the dog in front of them. Blue sky.
Heading towards a pointy summit with a small rocky outcrop, the ground is mostly white with snow & rocks showing through. But there is a gravel path up which is mostly clear of snow. Moray the dog is stood on the path. Blue sky.
Moray the dog stood on snowy ground at the summit of a hill, there are some rocks showing through, he is next to a concrete trig pillar. In the distance the lower ground is fields and areas of forest, all free of snow. Hazy blue sky.
Summit selfie, Moray the dog and me. We are sat on rocky ground which is covered in snow. I am wearing sunglasses and wrapped up well against the cold wind, with yellow padded jacket and woollen bobble hat. In the background the lower ground is hazy but clear of snow. Hazy blue sky with clouds onthe horizon.

Moray got an emergency rescue harness for Christmas, so we've been practising using it.
First, I got used to the harness with Big Bear in it (a teddy bear bigger than Moray). Moray not sure what's going on here haha.
Then I've got him into it and lifted it up onto my back. He was much more relaxed than I'd expected, tho' obviously an injured dog would not be so placid. And hope we never have to use it for real. #DogsOfMastodon #HikingWithDogs #Kelpie

I'm stood in my garden with an emergency dog rescue sling on my back, with a large teddy bear in it. Moray the dog is stood looking up at me.
I'm kneeling down in my garden, I've got an emergency dog rescue harness spread out on the ground, and am positioning Moray the dog on it ready to put the harness around him.
I'm in my garden, holding the straps of an emergency dog rescue harness containing Moray the dog, ready to lift it into carrying position.
