Inn Pin on the One Show

Inn Pin on the One Show

There was just a nice little feature with Steve Fallon about Munros and the Inn Pin in particular on the One Show.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04g0qzb - about 19mins in.

And some nice photography. This shot of Sgurr Alasdair just goes to show the scale of the Stone Chute!

I saw it too and loved it. Good that he told the viewers that (while he didn't need one) they should use a rope and go with someone experienced.

He's bit off a show-off-knob that fellow. Last week he climbed up the Emley Moor tower using the ladder, for no other reason than to show how rufty-tufty he is. I was hoping Steve Fallon would already be up there with a brew looking at his watch when he got there! haha
