When Plans Go Awry : Head to The Black Rock

  • Опубликовано: 21 май 2024
  • When Plan A fell through a number of other factors then led to plans b & c also being binned - however Plan D was not too shabby and a return to the Black Rock or Cliff after a few years following a TV appearance long ago in this spot! Sometimes you don't have to travel far to get epic views and have a grand time....

    0:05 Re the chairlift, a couple of years ago I gave up on the summit of Meall a' Bhùiridh due to high winds.
    Annoyed with my "failure" I returned just 5 days later to complete the climb over MaB to Creise.
    I had to have serious debate with myself as to whether taking the chairlift the second time was cheating or merely helping me to get back to where I given up previously. After all I had already walked up on foot.
    In the end I couldn't let a chairlift be part of my hike and so trudged up under the lift once more 😅!
