Great report and well done! You are having some summer :clap:


It is and I am!! And thanks for giving me the idea to do this one as well with your enthusiasm in the pub :D :lol: It was superb, and though long I didn't find it difficult. Was absolutely exhausted when done, but the fun and adrenaline kept me going very well on the ridge itself.

Brilliant report and photos - I love the way the wildlife put itself on display for you :D :D
(I walk with dogs therefore the wildlife that is around doesn't stay for long :? :? )

How long before you're back?

Haha yes the beasties do seem to come out for me, don't they? :lol: :D Yesterday I saw an osprey hunting and a pine marten munching away.

Don't know about when I'll be back. I'm stuck with school holidays as I'm a teacher and I kinda doubt the late October break is still good for walking :? Winter walking maybe? Can't bear the thought of having to wait till next summer! :shock:
