Blackhope Scar (frozen but muddy)

[Justdrums]

Heard this was muddy so waited until a day that was cold. Some of the bog was frozen but as the day wore on it got warmer so on the way back down it was getting boggy. Hate to think what it is like on warm wet day.
Saw a mountain hare.

Dundreich looking dreich

Somewhere up there is Blackhope, can see the castle and route on the left

Looking back towards Gladhouse and the Pentlands from above the castle - looks not too bad

Spoke too soon!

Reading some other reports, I'd heard about the alien landscape when it's frozen and right enough the bog does look a bit weird.

Peat icicles! These had all gone when I cam back down.

Yet another trig point in the mist - yes I made it to the top of Blackhope before the aliens got me
