YOUR MOUNTAIN SNAPS & TALES FROM THE TRAILS
Ben Nevis West Highlands
“Here’s a pic from the summit of Ben Nevis. It was the first time I’d made it up here and I was totally blown away. I left at 4am to beat the 28°C heat. Not a bad first Munro, and my first logged hike working towards becoming a Mountain Leader. Can’t wait to hike more of Scotland in the future.”
Cneifion Arête Snowdonia (Eryri)
“On my first Grade 3 scramble, the Cneifion Arête. Perfect summer weather, so swiftly followed by the Dolmen Ridge. My guide was Sam from The Mountaineering Company. Fantastic day!”
Old Man of Coniston Lake District
“My nephew, Gregor Fisken, and his first ever outing completing the Old Man Of Coniston.”
Pillar Lake District
“Beginning of June and a perfect day to walk from Wasdale Head, over Black Sail Pass and on the high-level route with great views passing Pillar Rock.”
Pavey Ark Lake District
Trail ran into Stephen Moore on a glorious day in the Lakes recently. Amazingly, he’s on his 60th round of the 214 Wainwrights, having done his first round in 1971! At the age of 74, it gives us all hope that we can be enjoying the mountains for many years to come.
Go Stephen!
Pike of Blisco Lake District
THIS MONTH’S WINNER
“I never thought I’d still be solo wild camping in my 70s. But here I am enjoying mid-June’s 4.53am sunrise breaking over the Langdale Pikes from Pike of Blisco.”
