Paradise Lost...Paradise found?

Hard day in the hills nav'ing around craggy ground above Ardlui. After a few weeks of good nav practice, today proved more challenging and despite knowing where I was, I just couldn't tick the boxes in terms of contour interpretation; a knock to the confidence but good to learn from my mistakes.

On the promise of tomato soup, Mark will do many things...thankfully nav is one of them, and he is a good coach despite his age. Lots of rope work too despite my attempts to kills us all :) Anyway, timings, pacing good up, across and down but interpretation needs polished. After a very long day in the hills, Mark managed to get his carnation sorted at late o'clock, while I got kicked like a dog on arriving home :(

A wee video to entertain...the ground we covered was super for climbing, scrambling, nav'ing and walking...shows you don't need Munro ticks to have a great day. We even saw a herd of deer and got a damn good soaking to finish off the good day.
