Very wet out on the Islands at the moment with some heavy rain and general murk. No chance to get to the crag in the evening for the time being hopefully some drier weather later in the week !! Ian Stewert is out with our clients this week on Skye and will hopefully not be getting as wet as us but I dont hold out to much hope !!
Andy Spink and I where working at Knockvolagan bay at the southern end of Mull earlier in the week but stayed on to get a couple of routes done at Erraid on the main crags. Having been here a few times now its still one of the most stunning venues in the UK in my opinion. With huge views accross the Western Isles and Hebrides.

3 Years from Dan Goodwin on Vimeo.
A collection of clips as this month is the third year of the blog running. Its had over 145'000 hits over its time and will hopefully have a few more years and hits in it yet. Wild and unpleasant weather here with some stong winds and heavy downpours. To view it larger at the source click here
I was out today marshalling on the Ben in some pretty wet cold and windy conditions. All 60 made it to the summit and back down again at a good pace, they where doing all three this weekend and could be in for a wild weekend weather wise. There didn't seem to be quite so many people on the hill today as usual. I didnt get the camera out to much today but the bits of media should show the view I had for the day situated in 'Dan's ditch' at the half way locahan.....!
I had a quick trip to the Ruthven boulder with Stevie but the midge played a large part in the ending of that. Its a great venue though a large isolated block above the Loch which has a large variety of problems on it from the very easy to the very hard. Sadly we got midged off with some still humid weather.
