16-6=2.0x1x5

We woke before 7:00 in the shadow of Arkle ...
.. Dismantled our tents.


... Had a rustic breakfast ...
"Is it worth the waiting for? ... "

Then off we went 

.. Past Coco Chanel's glade ...

Using maps ...


Past dangerous garden ornaments ...

Looking at rocks and fossils ...

Up ... Up ...

Lunch on the first summit and the weather started to close in ...

Then along a ridge (an arĂȘte actually) ...

Past desolate, dramatic glacial scenery (the loch by the centre is just visible in the background) ...

Along very narrow ridges ...

Type 2 fun mode engaged ...

Until we reached ...
The summit: 787m, a climb of 700 m up and nearly 8kms along!

"My first mountain"

The summit had primitive spa facilities.

Then the long trek back down ... To complete a round trip of over 11kms.


Very tired but happy ... Chicken curry for supper!
