Picasa Web Albums - Neil - Glentress & B...: " "I've just had a very busy but rewarding few days. On Sunday i was down in Glentress delivering a intermediate mountain bike course and then Monday and Tuesday took me to Ben Nevis for some private guiding.
Given the fact that it is October we had absolutely fantastic weather and thanks to everyone who participated with such enthusiasm and good humour. You may be interested in viewing some of the photos from the weekend.
looking ahead the weekend is looking pretty good - pumping surf on the East Coast of Scotland on Friday and Saturday and great wind on the Wets Coast. making the decision between surfing and kitesurfing a tough one.
Whatever you choose to do this weekend I hope that you have a great one.
Cheers
Neil

Those of you who are interested in the West Highland Way might be interested in the above story. In my opinion an absolutely fantastic idea - over the years I have had more comments thanI can remember concerning the dreary last two miles of the way along the busy Glen Nevis road.
I only hope that they will keep individual interests out of the decision and do what is best for the walk and walkers. In my humble opinion I would suggest keeping the route off the road and following the Cow Hill Track above Braveheart Car Park Etc and then dropping into Fort William from the side of Cow Hill. A great finish to a world class walk rather than a dispointing 2 mile trudge along a noisy road.
Please do what is best for walkers!

Kite and Wind surfing in Tiree
The Isle of Tiree has long held legendary status among wind sports enthusiasts in th eUK and last weekend saw four of heading to the isle in search of wind and waves. Matthew, Dougie and Dan were looking for some epic windsurfing action while I was hoping for slightly lighter winds for some kite action.
The forecast was terrifying - gales and huge swell all weekend - and the conditions did not disappoint. We had a mixture of short periods of lighter winds combined with nuclear winds and waves from every direction. Matthew and Dan made light work of the 4m weather on Saturday and Dougie and I sneaked in a session later in the day once the winds moderated a little.
By the end of two and a half days of action all of us were totaled and had had more than enough sailing to last us until our annual fix next year.
For anyone into wind, kite or just straight surfing I can't recommend Tiree enough. Supposedly the windiest and sunniest place in the UK blessed with numerous huge sandy beaches, a thriving scene and all easily accessible. If you haven't experienced Tiree or any of the Outer Hebrides get planning! Enjoy and don't tell too many people about it.
