Jack & Tess on A'Ghlas Bheinn

[Nesslabs]

Yesterday we headed west to climb A'Ghlas Bheinn. Some of you enjoy seeing the views and all of you love seeing dogs so here are some new pics of Jack and Tess on the hills.

The start of the climb looking towards Loch Duich.





A stalker's path led up to a high col from where we climbed A'Ghlas Bheinn.



The path was steep and hard work in places - I didn't know Tess had such a long tongue!





Once we reached the top of the ridge the path led to the summit. We stopped for lunch half way along the ridge by a tiny lochan which Tess was very pleased about.







As you can see from Jack's ears, it was windy at the top.





Moira, Jack and Tess at summit cairn.







Looking west to the Isle of Skye. The Skye bridge is faintly visible in bottom right corner.



Next Saturday we're off to Italy for a week when a friend on leave from China will be dog-sitting for us. He's a keen hill walker and loves dogs - neither of which he can indulge in China. So he's looking forward to his dog and mountain week and by the time we return Jack and Tess will have notched up a few more Munros to their name. :)

No, nice as it was we didn't stay in Italy - and haven't vanished into cyber space either! It actually rained hard for 3 days at Lake Garda and ironically Scotland had good weather that week. Haven't any new Jack and Tess hill walks to report as things go quiet between October and April unless you're into ice axes, crampons and risk of avalanche - which we're not. Should hopefully get going again in May.

Back in November someone asked to see the story of the dogs' Ben Nevis climb but because I hadn't put the report on this thread it had been deleted. At the time I wondered if I should re-post something about it since it had been a fund raising event which could possibly give others the idea to do something similar? But then again it's "last year's news" and I couldn't quite muster the enthusiasm. What do you think?

Oh yes please Kathleen - I for one would love to see your story again. Everybody loves seeing your lovely pictures. I remember reading that one. Wonder where it went?

PS, I'd also like to know what camera you use because your shots are always crystal clear.

We never get bored of jack & tess's adventures, the photos are stunning, it gives us who cant do this sort of thing a lift, you live in a wonderful part of the country kathleen.
