Munro No. 150. We deliberately waited until midday to start this single munro climb, as the weather really wasn't good in the morning. We managed to hold off (not easy for us, as we're early birds) and were rewarded with this fabulous view at the top around 3pm. From here we walked out along the 'runway' and descended by the ridge you can see in front. A fabulous route with some interesting scrambling. However, a slight error in judgement on choosing our route at the end of the ridge caused us to descend by a very steep, heathery, bracken-filled slope. Slow going, and very hard on the knees. However, we made it down, without falling down and without falling out, and found the return path.
We're walking The Five Sisters tomorrow, with a reasonable forecast. After that, weather not looking good, but fingers crossed that may change.
@yorkshirekiwi Yes, it's stormy here, but Kintail has a reputation for 'weather' given all the mountains around and proximity to the sea. The forecast changes hourly!
Wow looks quite a challenge and certainly have to watch your footing. I was going to ask if that a airstrip or a hay paddock? but as you called it a runway I am guessing the former..
@jamibann I was inspired by Merrelyn who came to visit me from the other side of Australia! Her and her husband are travelling around so called in here. She was talking about the people on here and she is still posting so I thought I'd have a look around. Maybe I will post a bit over our cold winter here! Hope you're all well.
