Photo blog: Storm Arwen

At the end of November 2021 the UK was battered by Storm Arwen. It hit us on a very busy weekend with various teams heading off on Christmas tour – Fiona wrote a blog about that which can be found here. We’ve now had many more storms and lots of snowfall this winter, but I thought that I would share some photos of the reindeer and reindeer herders in the snow taken during the first major wintery weekend of the season…

Me (Lotti) and Colin setting off with our team of reindeer to head to Oban Christmas event.

Andi performing the very important task of sweet talking Suidhe.

Hook, Clouseau and Druid leading the boys over for their breakfast.

The wonderful Sheena clearing the way up onto Utsi’s bridge to make the walk less treacherous for our visitors!

Ben H was new to reindeer herding in November when he started working with us, however he is no stranger to snow clearing having worked as a lifty on Cairngorm mountain in the past! He certainly knows his way around a shovel and a bucket of grit!

And finally, the wonderfully snowy view from Utsi’s bridge!
