Early March a second boat trip is planned to take us out onto the Loch and closer inspection of Southern islands, unfortunately with looming Force 5 winds no-one will take us out

Although now land based we take a great walk up Conic hill revealing the beautiful spine of sinuous ridge and a linear parade of islands that perfectly articulate the Highland Boundary Fault line. On the summit it is blowing a full gale and we are so close to cloud base that you can touch the dense wisps whirling and scurrying through the sky.
