Equinoctal Storm

Well yesterday was the Equinox - goodbye to Winter and Hello to Spring. And as is often the case, it is pretty stormy right now - serious winds and disrupted ferry services.

I took a quick trip up Cnoc Fuar above Tobermory for a quick look round. The wind was seriously strong and coming from the north. Blowing a hooley as they say. Cnoc Fuar is both an extremely well named and also an extremely badly named place.

1) Bad first - the correct name for the hill is Meall an Inbhire. It just gets called Cnoc Fuar which is nearby I believe

2) Well second - no matter what the weather, season, time of day (or night) it is always cold up there. Always.

The views were quite nice although it was hard to hold the camera steady

Here is the Cal-Mac ferry:



And here is Kilchoan:



And this is 'S Airde Beinn, with nice heaped up clouds above it:



So that was today's windy stroll. Geology trip for tomorrow is looking a bit iffy because lots of people have got visitors for the holiday. Easter? Bah! Humbug!

Anyway, its probably going to be too wild and windy anyway.

Come back soon!

PS: I was visiting a client just at lunchtime and saw that the weather out on Tobermory Bay and Calve Island looked rather impressive. Here are some pics:

Wild and sombre looking Ben Hiant!

Cripes! Enough to make an old salt shake in his seaboots. Maybe I'll reconsider wife's plea to sail in the Med instead. The choice appears to be death by drowning or by being fried to a cinder. Oh for an easy life. Grand pix and blog as usual, MM, thank you.

Barney from Swithiod maybe change of plans
