Wake me up when November ends....

Memories of happier Novs...Ben Alder forest from Beinn Udlamain
(with a nod to Green Day!!)

Not my favourite month really - gets dark too soon, there is usually no snow...although Claire and I did have some excellent days on the Drumochter Hills once...or ice and everyone is cold, bored and depressed...it also marks the drawing down on the longest of the school terms.

This November has seemed very long, longer even than usual. Claire is busy at work; I was busy with work and job applications/interviews; the weather couldn't make up its mind and we haven't done as much as we would like. We do have 4 days at xmas to look forward to - just the two of us and Suilvan heading up to the North - assuming it ever snows up there as well of course...

Today was another nice circuit at Dovestones, being able to get away from the crowds there is good as it allows us a chance to think and talk without hordes of people jostling on the path round the lakes. Our route took us across the bouldering zone - no boulderers there which was interesting (it has rained a lot during the last week) and up to the road to Chew, which we walk down to get back to the car.

Weather was ok - the light wasn't as good as I would have hoped for photo's - having decided to bring the camera today - a couple of shots came up not too bad....hoping for some snow in the North next week.
