Very nice ridge and great views over half of west coast Scotland and parts of Ireland from the summit.<br />Flies were really cute and friendly and we even had our lunch stop inside the swarm as there were dozens of these massed eruptions along the ridge that day. Like having hundreds of little Tinkerbells taking off beside you. A rare event to be treasured and to be a part of it in the middle of a winged army.<br />P B didn't make me think of Ice Cream Wars which was a sad business altogether.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-89257819592804746292014-09-06T00:08:12.367+01:002014-09-06T00:08:12.367+01:00Hi Carol,
If you can climb severe and VS rock rout...Hi Carol,<br />If you can climb severe and VS rock routes a scramble like that one(not even graded) will be no problem.<br />Worst place we ever climbed for adders was Northumbria. Dozens of large ones in the bracken around the climbing crags there and the last thing you want to see face to face on a ledge halfway up a rock climb. A chapter on that occurrence made the book as we encountered half a dozen in under five minutes on one path alone and started stamping to scare off any more as the bracken obscured where they were sunbathing.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-71712790015222871152014-09-05T23:56:46.345+01:002014-09-05T23:56:46.345+01:00Hi Craig,

I was going to send Richard that way last time but he ended up coming with me on the walking route, not sure why. <br /><br />He got a scare on the walk into the corrie on the way to the hill anyway - an adder came sliding towards us, intent on some prey just past us I think, but I think he thought it was coming for us. We had to side-step it as it was pretty oblivious! ;-)<br />Carol.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-62046356421394196942014-09-04T09:32:00.265+01:002014-09-04T09:32:00.265+01:00Good to see you are still climbing new summits!Good to see you are still climbing new summits!Robert Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479924424503608056noreply@blogger.com
