The Week In Pics

Despite the deluge at the weekend, it's getting warmer and more summery - time to wade through rivers or perhaps get up to see the dawn if OM's camera-wielding contingent is to be believed...

Skye Climbing

Tim Croker made the most of summer weather by climbing this Mod on the Dubh ridge, up from Loch Coruisk - the Mod rating can only be for difficulty though, and definitely not for scenic value. See more in the new Skye album.

Sunrise

As ever, OM rakes in the wild campers, who have the advantage of being up on the hilltops already when the sun rises. If you think you have to roll out of bed too early to get to work, try these early morning pics from another new album - the wild camp album.

Slovenia

Returning to more human times of the day, Wendy Murray takes us to Beautiful Slovenia! where life looks very green and generally appealing.

Beer anyone?

The title says it all in this photo, which looks like a better location for chilling out than a smoke-filled bar, any day. The pic comes from another Skye album, where there's also some abseiling action with maximum exposure and a fantastic view.

Crocodiles?

"The map definitely said there was a footbridge! Shallow as it looks, for a man with a fear of water of unknown depth, this was 'character building!'" says Uglybag of this photo from the Pottering About album - also new.

Cloud Wall

This pic was snapped up just as the Carneddau disappeared under cloud, last Sunday. Teh rest of Richard Roworth's photos - in the Wild Images album - are similarly atmospheric, with some brooding black and white pics from Anglesey and Skye, and a very vivid North Wales sundown

Which River?

Finally, the OM kayaking contingent has its say in The Camera Never Lies album (although some may dispute that point!) The question attending this photo is 'but where?' - all knowledgeable kayakers out there, it's pub quiz time on the forum - add your answers below the image.
