Yesterday we believed the forecast and got to the airfield early, so there was plenty of time to enjoy the frost, the mist in the valleys, the sunshine - and the total lack of wave. Well....there was a tiny bit, and Richard did eventually manage a couple of flights to around 6,000ft, but mostly it was just not quite strong enough for a climb, and very confusing.
Today there was no doubt. It rained. A lot. Alternative occupations varied. One party went to Loch Muick.

Very wet |
Another couple of carloads went to Newburgh Seal Beach where there were lots of ........seals.....floating up the river on the incoming tide.
|
Wondering where the incoming tide will go next |
|
Sea. Seals. Rain |
The prize for adventure, though not for scenic views, goes to Jacek and Howard, who climbed up Lochnagar in cloud.

The route |

Nice view |

The summit |

Success |
There is wave in the forecast tomorrow, but also rain, so we will have to wait and see.
