Arran

Found this cool and also useful site which gives mountain weather forecasts.

Why did I find that? Well, we're off to Arran soon to either climb Goat Fell again or to do the Glen Rosa Horseshoe (either western or eastern) if Graham gets his way. The western one sounds hellish and I quote "the western half is the toughest, requiring a long ascent, some steep and rugged slopes and even some scrambling on steep rock at times".

Ok, that sounds like fun with a hangover. How about the eastern half?

The eastern half is described as the "easier of the two" but not "easy" and contains "exposed scrambles". Oh, joy(!)

Whilst I enjoy hill walking, I don't like heights, ridges, exposed scrambles or the fog. I like the fresh air, the view and the pub afterwards. A well deserved few pints always goes down a treat.

Looks like we are going to get shitty weather too.

Forecast for Goat Fell.
