Ben Lui - Scotland.....(Large images)

[lomond]

As requested by RSSFHS from a previous post.

OK. Just returned from above and these are quickly put together. (Excuses, excuses)
Anyway first is a Pano shot, shot portrait style, of Ben Lui and Coire Gaothach. Sorry it doesn't fit, if it did you wouldn't see the climber.
To give an idea of scale the small red square shows a climber on the way up via the coire. The large red square is that portion magnified.

Second shot is of the summit and upper end of the coire.
It's not an excuse but the weather was not as kind as Sky News promised.
Too much cloud and some rain. :(
This was one of the few shots of the summit I managed without cloud cover.
I enjoyed the day, and thats what matters.

Thanks John, though it doesn't come close to your shot from Fairlie.

As far as clubs are concerned, I don't know.
I tend to walk alone, too many people together tend to talk and miss the whole atmosphere and point of the walk. Anyway thats what I think.

I don't always walk alone, sometimes my wife comes. :roll:
Now theres a thing. ;)

Great shots Cameron - I wish I was there!

I share your view on walking - I almost always go alone. I remember walking with my brother-in-law in Findhorn and he races! Anyway and could see him down the track and a herd of red deer were within about 50 yards. He was racing so much that he didn't see them and sent them running up over the hill. Walked by myself since then!
