Good to be back

Great to be back in Argentiere again. There’s something quite magical about this time of year. Its much colder than I expected for mid October, but that just sharpens it all up a little. A crisp morning frost and clear intensely blue skies above, the smell of wood smoke wafting gently down the valley and the autumn colours beginning to come into their own.


And yet Argentiere is all but a ghost town. Back home in Glencoe the weather isn’t usually quite so kind, though the colours are a little more intense. But with Octoberfest about to get underway, and the glen busy with visitors, the contrast couldn’t be greater.


Still, we’re not complaining. Great to be out and out exploring again. And guess what we found in the woods!
