Hiking Ben Wyvis in Scotland

2017 has been quite a year. I’ve had considerably less time to take photos as a result of joining cubetech in May, but we’ve still managed to pack in lots of trips. From Scotland last winter, to hiking in Scotland, England and Switzerland, two trips to the Lake District, exploring parts of Switzerland we’d not visited before, and a long-awaited opportunity to visit the Scottish coast around Torridon. Here’s to a less hectic but more wider-ranging 2018.
