A rainy and windy day in Flowerdale, near Gairloch, Wester Ross – August
Another poor forecast, so we decided to try to get some practice scrambling with rope protection. As we got to the area of An Groban, the rain became quite heavy, so we tried to take what shelter we could find, against a slightly overhanging rock.
