Still no snow on the west coast and not cold enough to rime up any of the crags. However the weather has been nice and I went out for a quick scramble on the ribs of Meall an t'Suidhe, up the right hand one and down the left hand this morning for a quick leg stretcher.

Parking at The Ben Nevis Inn at Achintee, Fort William you walk up the first bit of the mountain track to Ben Nevis. Just after the first big zig-zag you will see two ribs on the south west side of Meall an t'Suidhe directly above the path, split by a stream that is easily identified as it crosses the path. The right hand rib is slightly harder (grade 2 scrambling) and the left one is fairly simple (grade 1). They both offer great scrambling on sound granite in a fabulous situation. The top is at 700m so the round trip can be completed in a morning with a stop in the Inn for lunch!

Glen Nevis is giving us its very own fireworks display this November with all the colours of autumn in full strength. North west winds today and tomorrow should give us some snow ... fingers crossed! - Mike
