Jinxed...

Well, the first half of the afternoon today was spent climbing up a hill. Ok, maybe a bit bigger than a hill, more like a small mountain. Either way, it was spent walking on an incline.
The hill/mountain in question was Ben Rinnes, which supposedly has a spectacular view from its peak and borders six counties, which I think are Moray, Inverness-shire, Aberdeenshire, Caithness, and...other ones...
Anyway, it was quite a good hike at first, albeit a bit nippy. There was snow too, quite a lot of it, which ended up being quite deep in places as we found out (we being me and family peeps).
However the weather soon turned pretty rough, and wet, making conditions difficult and a bit dangerous - personally I've faced worse on Duke of Edinburgh expeds, but there you go. So we retreated back down the way we came to the warmth of the car. Therefore our climb was cut short - bummer - and we got a bit wet.
I swear I'm jinxed though. On every DoE exped the weather was wet, very wet. Now, when I try and go for a casual hike up a mountainside, the weather is still dull, and the rain still pours, and the wind still blows. One day I'll get a nice dry walk with sunshine and a 'spectacular view' from the top of whichever mountain it is I'm climbing.
