We had planned this walk for Monday
But changed to Wednesday due to weather forecast
Consequently the 19 expected were reduced to 8
This is because the rest had other commitments on Wednesday
The weather today lived up to expectations
Clear blue skies, warm with a cool breeze
In fact ideal walking conditions
And it meant that we saw the exceptional scenery at its best
It is almost three years since we last did this walk
And it’s much harder than I remembered it
The first half of the walk is almost all climbing
And in fact it is one of our top three for total ascent
However the views are spectacular
And the company distracts from the effort required
Also there is a great sense of achievement at the end
We were really looking forward to a well deserved drink
So there was great disappointment to find the bar was closed
We had never done this walk on a Wednesday before
And did not realise that was the bar closed day
Despite this a very enjoyable walk in great company
Time taken – 5.5 hours
Distance – 12 km
Total Ascent – 682 metres
Temperature – 6-19c
