A walk in the hills

[JAG009]

Just for a change from the usual camping , canoeing trips , Me (Jason) and (colin,coln18) decided to do a couple of munroes Beinn Dubhchraig and Ben Oss just outside tyndrum ,As it was we only managed one ,due to my lack of crampons .
Here are some pics hope you like them.

Colin summiting a boulder half way up the hill

On the way to the summit (and with me with no crampons !not good!!!

Colin at the summit trying to have a shave with a crampon! dont know why his knife is not sharp enough to shave him!!

The quick way down, sit on a black bag and Weeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Nice photos...

I miss Scotland.. I thought there would be more snow.

Any how looks like a good time was had by all.

One note of caution be careful when sliding around wearing Crampons... If they catch on something you can end up with all sorts of problems...

Cheers

John, another year or two and you may be right about the crampons, thats me 40 now and i could just about lift my feet above the snow line to slide down the mountain side, but still better than old crazy horse himself climbing mountains without ice axe and crampons, even better was that i didnt realise he was following me back down the mountain, especially because i was finding it easier walking back down through the snow and ice fields on the crampons, he must of hated me by the end of the day... but sure was funny watching him, he was like a new born giraffe on a olympic size ice rink - made my day it did!!!!!!
