273 miles to Edinburgh, that is quite a hike. Is that Orkney that can be seen in the distance.

I believe it's the island of stroma, but yes Dunnet head is the most northern point of the UK so quite a hike

Thanks Gary,

For the money, it jolly well should do...

Sadly, However, it won't cook the pies because after the Note 7, the cooking app has been discontinued.

Come on folks, go for it! Virtual coffee morning, how hard can it be???

No Internet signal yesterday so I couldn't post these, after Dunnet I headed to Altnaharra then on to Ben hope, climbed Ben hope..... Sorry for mass pic upload lol enjoy

View of Loch naver on way to Altnaharra

On the road to Ben hope that's the peak in the distance on right.

At the foot of Ben hope

15 minutes up

30 mins up

Still a bit to go

At the top Looking down, I'm glad I didn't buy a bongo I'd have never seen it from up here

That wee white spec doon there is the motorhome

All the way up something had been nipping my toe I thought I'd wait till I got to the top to take shoe of and investigate, I found a Fiddlesticksing stanley blade in my shoe how it got there I've no idea i must have dropped it in there at some Point but it's removed a small slice of big toe.

That may take more than a dicht with a sponge.

Sun's setting time to get back down

Nearly there thankfully

The road back out from Ben hope trying to find somewhere to park up for the night

Hope you enjoy..... That was my first solo climb of a munro I'm quite pleased with myself, I couldn't have done that 18 months ago

I've only done one Munro, that was Cairn Gorm, from a tent. It nearly killed me! (I was still working full-time so not very fit.) The last bit from about the Ptarmigan up to the plateau I was trying to do 10 steps at a time but I was so tired I couldn't actually count to ten... Always a lovely view from the top of a munro (weather permitting) - congratulations on getting there NR
Hope your toe's not too bad, mud has healing properties

The last bit was really hard going and the wind was unbelievable thought I was going to get blown off great feeling at the top though

I'm confused - I thought the real coffee morning was today but "our" MHF virtual one was tomorrow?

You are (I think) correct LLL, the Jasmin "live" one is today, the MHF "virtual" one and the Big Macmillan Day are tomorrow, but I'm busy tomorrow so just getting in early... with my coffee, and with a gentle reminder

 

[movan]

I'll join you tomorrow Steve ... bit on and off computer goday.

 

[movan]

That was of course today .. daft phone.

Just a thought ,could you have stayed overnight where you parked for the climb?. Do a little hillwalking and venturing up that way with my mate before weather really turns.

 

[Kingham]

@Northernraider .... Only a true man of the north could climb 3000ft with a Stanley blade sawing through his toe and describe it as 'nipping', but then be more concerned about his muddy boots

Loved your photos and we possibly could have passed each other at some point, I've just come round clockwise (W-E)

 

[Kingham]

Now that I have real wifi again, a couple of pics from Sunday night at Mellon Udrigle, our first night ever, untethered from the orange umbilical chord.
