Today dawned with most of the snow gone and horizontal rain. In spite of this, I ventured out, heading east with the faint idea of walking round to Cromor and Gravir. Decided against that in view of the very strong easterly I found myself battling into. Diverted onto the moors, initially near the Caverstay junction, then from Garyvard (Gearraidh Bhaird). From the latter village, there is a long road right onto the moors. It was up there that I noticed that something had changed. The wind came from the WEST and the temperature had jumped from +6 to +11C. Strange. The rain was still pouring down, and I did not feel like gallivanting across the moors in that sort of weather. Returned to Kershader early to dry out.
There is one other gentleman staying at the hostel, who has recently returned from Canada after having a divorce. He has some tales to tell. Otherwise, there is the TV to watch. Don't forget, it's dark up here after 4.15.
