Absolutely stunning Gammy, beautiful shots throughout. Good to see you getting the best of the weather too, I laughed when I read this "panting and wheezing and even contemplating turning round and heading back to the car", it describes the start of most of my walks :lol: :lol: bet you're secretly pleased you made that loop, nothing worse than having to go back the same way you went in :wink: kudos to you for trying it mate :D

Nice one - you can't beat the west coast with some decent sunshine :)

I like this area - must go back and do this one again some day.
