Andy Beck - On Location

Route details and photographs of areas where Andy has been walking, sketching and gathering references for future work.

25th January 2010- Ben Vrackie.

This route is featured in Cameron McNeish's book, "Scotland's 100 Best walks" and as the weather remained overcast and dull we opted for this easy hill-walk.

Some of these images will contribute to paintings, please do not copy or reproduce these images.

Leaving the village of Moulin, just outside Pitlochry.

 

Bailey waits for the others.

 

Leaving the woods we get our first view of Ben Vrackie.

 

Bailey is a keen dog but at this time needs a bit of restraint!

 

It is a well waymarked path.

 

Plenty of snow on the route ahead.

 

We now pass the frozen Loch a' Choire.

 

Who me?

 

Gaining height.

 

The view west with Schiehallion with its top in the clouds on the right.

 

Snow sculpture on the summit ridge.

 

Winter grips the summit cairn.

 

The trig point.

 

Bailey's first hill summit... of many we hope.

 

The descent was by the same route, here above the frozen lochan.

 

In training.

 

and posing for a group photo before we return to the car.
