Well done Dom!  Great trip report..........

Cheers Bill O0


Excellent TR and stunning photos Dom but i noticed something strange about them a meet up with blue sky and no rain!! Well done i bet you are still buzzing mate

Cheers Luke.  Yup, lovely blue sky.  Only had to travel 400 miles to get it ;D


Great photos, but I get vertigo just looking at some of them.  I know I will never get up there, so it's good to see the pictures.

Cheers O0


You lucky [censored] what a fantastic day you all had whish I could have been on the ridge with you Fantastic TR Dom with superb photos.

Cheers Chris.  Was awesome :)  Have to sort a summer ridge walk in the Lakes O0


Stunning! What a fantastic day you had - well done. Dom - great write-up and brilliant photos. Wish I'd been there!

Thanks Glyno. O0 


Fantastic photos Domtheone, it is great when you get clear days like this. Your second photo - doesn't that look similar to Honister crag and Mellbreak in the background in the Lakes from Dale Head ascent?

Thanks Henry.  I'm not sure, tbh.  I'm not familiar enough with the Lakes (yet) to say. :-[


What a fantastic day O0  Superb pics and Brilliant TR.
Stuart was spot on when he described Scotland as "like the Lakes but on steroids"

Thanks Karl.  O0


Dom, (and Dave's extras) - one of the best TRs I've read. Excellent stuff - go straight to the top of the class !
The weather you guys had looked fabulous - does Stuart charge 'guide' fees   ;D  - or is it paid in kind = beer !

Cheers O0  Weather was, if anything, even better than forecast.  Especially on the Saturday.


Great stuff you two. I hope you've left something for us to do in June.

Plenty O0



Great TR Dom of a fantastic but hard day out on my first walk and scramble in Scotland not to mention my first Munros. Much better picture of the deer than I got mate and some great pictures for the album to remember that day for a long time to come  O0

Cheers Dave.  Certainly a memorable weekend O0


O0  couldnt agree more and is that a date for winter  8)

Crampons.  Ice Axe.  Perhaps some rope for safe measure.

Seriously think it is :D

Might need a head torch too ;D
If they don't like you going out, they'll love you coming in!

Amazing photos and what great weather. I must admit I'm in two minds about wanting to tackle this ridge.

@ Dom

I would do mate (i'm guessing a link at the top of the post like you've just done) but, for some reason, i can't edit my original post.


I never can.  Assumed it was an issue with this website that you cannot go back and edit your posts if they're more than a day old.


I can modify today post but not yesterdays :-\
