Iolair-Bhara
Dumgoyne & Dumfoyn, Campsie Fells
Taken with a very dated, low spec pocket camera &, admittedly, not the best viewpoint for Dumgoyne (Dumfoyn partially obscures it), this image nevertheless records one of the blackest, angriest skies I've ever clapped eyes on. About 2 minutes after this I was enveloped in a maelstrom of stinging pellet snow. Luckily, I was walking WITH the weather, & blown along the Slackdhu cliffs in fine style.
I was reminded of being confronted by a similar 'curtain of doom' in far-flung Sutherland, 25 years ago. I was chased off Arkle by a whirlwind of high-velocity hailstones.
