Cluanie to Kintail

The hills NW of Fort William are probably some of the best in the UK for flying.   However, they are a fair drive to reach from the main cities and are relatively rarely flown.  

Last weekend I met up with Mark, Tony, Iain and Mike for a lovely day starting in a new spot on a hill called Carn nam Feuaich above Loch Cluanie.  Despite weak thermals and a rock solid inversion at the same height as the peaks we managed to make progress W towards the Five Sisters of Kintail ridge which I have been wanting to fly along for a while.

A slide show is here.
