Chasing the weather

Foinaven and tomorrows hills (right) from the summit of Meall Horn. Early start to catch the only sun in Britain? Shortly after we got back to the car at 2pm it rained a bit. Took a look at Oldshoremore beach - brought back old memories of running out of fuel in a rib after climbing Am Buchaille and Stac Clo Kearvaig, we had to row it ashore, abandon it and walk back to Kinlochbervie. Back at the hotel it was wild for a short while but cleared up.

Spoke to my Ma and her business has survived the storm in Cockermouth and her house survived below Skiddaw. But she can't get to Cockermouth yet, she's relying on the word of the people over the road.

The Spleen (Wee Bruv) was supposed to be at Old Trafford - haven't found out if he escaped Cumbria yet, but I did get to watch it on TV - The KBV Hotel was possibly the only bar in Scotland to show the footie in preference to Scotland playing rugby - bar was empty anyway.
