With hot weather and a fair forecast for the Monday, it had to be a bivi up in the hills. I&rsquo;d always fanced bivying on Slat Bheinn summit where it looks across to the wild east face of Blaven and gives aeriel views of Coire Uaigneich and so it was decided, intending to wander around the top, composing poems and jotting down philosophical gems in my notebook. The forecast mentioned increasing wind overnight, low cloud, then clearing. Turned out a bit wilder than that!</p> http://stravaiger.com/blog/2017/08/12/the-ravens-peak/ Sat, 12 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0000 http://stravaiger.com/blog/2017/08/12/the-ravens-peak/ <p><a href="http://stravaiger.com/blog/images/posts/The_Raven_s_Peak/deer_and_her_calf_on_the_summit_plateau_of_meallan_odhar-36542776195.jpg" title="Deer and her calf on the summit plateau of Meallan Odhar"><img src="http://stravaiger.com/blog/images/posts/The_Raven_s_Peak/deer_and_her_calf_on_the_summit_plateau_of_meallan_odhar-36542776195-800px.jpg" width="800" height="800" alt="Deer and her calf on the summit plateau of Meallan Odhar"></a></p> <p>The day promised a wet start, with early autumn showers heading in from the west coast and low cloud on the tops. However, with a clear afternoon in prospect I decided to head up a hill I&rsquo;ve long admired on the way through Glen Shiel. Biod an Fhitich.</p>
