- All you really need
This was always the plan, to try and finish this walk before the sweltering heat forcast for mid day,even this early its showing 12 degrees as we leave the car,no matter onwards & upwards,rucksack is down to the bare bones,no waterproof jacket or trousers,no hat or gloves,no fleece,just 2 litres lucozade,2 litres water,4 energy bars,2 bananas,2 fruit pots,1 pkt jellybabies.We start of at a brisk pace & soon work up a good sweat,climbing high up into the corrie below Stob Ban,but still sheltered from the sun that has not cleared the ridge line yet,we want to hit the ridge & picture the sun as it rises over the top,but first we need to cool ourselves down with a refreshing shower.
- How good is that
- Well worth the early start
- Stob Ban
- Alan having breakfast
- A nice wee view from our table
- Clag free again
Even starting early,its now blistering hot and my barren bonce is cooking under the mid morning sun....................however,like the title says..........."Ice cold on Mullach"
- Is this heaven
- Ice cold in Alex........or is that Mullach
The ridge walk from Stob Ban to Mullach nan Coirean is a joy,and gives me & Alan a wee chance to look forward to our up coming"Fisherfield" trip with a few WH members in early Aug,lots of planning needed for this one,how much to take,how long will the walk take,will my gammy,knee,ankle hold up,how bad are the river crossings going to be,funny how the mind wanders when the going is easy.
In what seems know time we are at Mullach"s summit cairn,where the usuall pics are taken.
