| The Isle of Mull in drier conditions not seen for a while, Ben More from the Burg |
Certainly by looking at the amount of broken walls downed trees and the very high sea weed line above the roads it looks like the Western Isles have taken a fair beating through the festive period and perhaps not a bad time to have been away. Since being back it seems to have been raining non stop although I have not managed to get out into the snow it does sound as though the conditions have been snowy and plenty of people are out getting things done. A friend Donald was skiing on Aonach Mor only a couple of days ago and reported superb conditions for the ski's.
What has also been going on over the last week has been a frantic sorting game of packing and all out faffing. After two great years on the island with Hebridean Pursuits, Tavool and various other things its been time to take on a new challenge and job. Moving from freelance to full time now with a position of 'Operations and Field Manager' for Rift Valley Adventure. A kenyan based company operating in the North of the country near the town of Nanyuki. With all the stuff which was a pretty amazing amount which had built up over the two years at the house on Mull safely stashed away in Fort William it was off to Africa. I flew out via Dubai from Glasgow arriving in Nairobi at about T time to warm weather and very heavy traffic jams leaving the airport. I am in the Karen area and should be heading North tomorrow where I can see the base and where we shall be operating from. So plenty more on that and Africa in general as time goes on. Should be a great new venture and looking forward to the next few weeks of activity and general orientation.
