🎉Photos of the Week Away🎉

There were so many gorgeous pictures taken in Scotland, but these are my three favourites!

The first one was taken by Eve Handley near Loch Avon. "After reigning in the rebellion to Ben Macdu-it, we compensated by checking out Loch Avon. Battling rain and wind to reach the supposed loch location, we found only mist obscuring any views. However the duhws gods answered our prayers: the rain stopped and the mist quickly lifted within minutes to reveal the breathtaking loch before our eyes making it worth the extra miles after all."

The second was taken by Sammy Reeves on the way to Linn of Dee.
"Looking back across Glen Lui as gathering clouds threaten to rain on the exhausted hillwalkers."

The third was taken by Vis Ravindran near Creag Leacach.
"As we masterfully evaded the rain clouds for the day, we admire the view as far as the eye can see before continuing high in spirits back to the hostel."
