Between control and chaos – Ben Nevis 2019

In some ways, I wonder if that is what caused Eddie Campbell and his rebels to report the fine weather on that wild day in 1980: a fire that has blazed for 123 years.

After 32km, 2100m, four hours and 26 minutes in the rain and wind – how good was that? Incredible.

Feet above the clouds – Creag Mhor and Beinn Sheasgarnich

We could not look down, like gods, on some dominion below. Instead, we looked out, for miles upon miles at the other ranges of hills – some still red dots on Munro maps, waiting to be explored.
