Another great report.
As usual, some fabulous photographs to accompany the enjoyable read.
Also, congratulations on hitting the 50-mark.

See you at the WH meet in November.

Thanks Martin. See you there!

Definitely a route that edges towards the top section of my list - not quite sure about THAT wire bridge crossing though! (Is there a shuttle and bag carrying service!? ;))

Good report and pics, Happy 50th by the way.


Halfway across it started to move about a bit more. All i could think about was "WTF is wrong with building a proper bridge anyway?" :lol:

I done the same route last Monday, I experienced the same "fear" on the Steall bridge as I had previously on Aonach Eagach. I froze for a couple of minutes, but put mind over matter and made it to the other side :clap: It was dry but really windy up there, and there were three separate groups of Royal Marines on exercise walking the route. Love your photographs :D

Thanks Katrina :)

Between the bridge and crossing the falls, most of the stressful stuff was in the first half hour :lol:
