Corbetts or nothing!<br />Waste of a good pair of legs if you ask me. At least Ron is open to other ideas on what constitutes a good day out in the mountains:)blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-7180657284198586032013-06-05T23:38:48.640+01:002013-06-05T23:38:48.640+01:00Aye, I heard you'd left poor ol' Alex in t...Aye, I heard you'd left poor ol' Alex in the lurch and eloped with Rob! ;-)<br /><br />Those are all superb photos - you look to have had a pretty good day for it. I keep meaning to take Richard up the Bidean but I think he'll have to wait until I've finished.<br /><br />As for the routes up on it, I stressed for months about which way I might dare tackle and then ended up doing it with the University Club I was with at the time and found it absolutely fine. There was no snow though - I think that would put a different slant on it!<br />Carol.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardaventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-80382927824423864212013-06-03T00:38:16.437+01:002013-06-03T00:38:16.437+01:00Cheers Jim.

Very steep hill with no easy ridges unlike 90% of the rest which usually have one gentle way up.<br />The path off was even steeper and still plastered with snow.<br />As for the music...'Its so bad its good' comes to mind.<br />'Aw surely you cant forsake the Lord?

If the knees don't pack in I may do a few more of the more exciting ones as I'm finally running out of the lesser hills in the Central Belt.<br />Gives me a focus.. just like you with the Marilyns.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-13577953588168388272013-06-02T23:36:10.230+01:002013-06-02T23:36:10.230+01:00Hi Bob, it looks like you've plenty of energy ...Hi Bob, it looks like you've plenty of energy in those legs yet. Some great pictures again. I love that picture of Beinn a Bheithir especially full size. Just before we'd begun to climb through the trees on our way up Slieve Donard I was talking to a local who made the comment that their Mountains of Mourne were like pimples compared to the Scottish Mountains. When I look at your pictures I see what he means.<br />Loved the video but I'm not sure about the accompanying music. Maybe that's just the heathen in me !<br /> The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-33993899859009364512013-06-02T19:35:03.552+01:002013-06-02T19:35:03.552+01:00Good to see that you're back on the bigger hil...Good to see that you're back on the bigger hills Bob. I've only done Bidean a couple of times but it's a grand hill. I hate scree and the descent into the Lost Valley puts me off. Anyway, after my recent medical skirmishes it would be too much for me now. Monte Perdido is one of the few hills that I have climbed in the Greater ranges. A long time ago now but I remember it as a super snow climb and a fantastic wee summit. Those were the days....... Anyway, on with the Marilyns!!Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521811229603749067noreply@blogger.com
