THE COBBLER

czesc pierwsza zdjec z wycieczki na beinn narnain oraz na the cobbler z arrochar. zdjecia z tych szczytow wstawiam osobno gdyz na beinn narnain weszli z nami baska i kris, na cobblera weszlysmy tylko we dwie.
.
the cobbler 884m (2900ft)
.
wejscie dosc latwe, najpierw dlugo idzie sie dolina a potem juz na sam szczyt 'kamiennymi schodkami'. chwila-moment i u gory :) widoki piekne, szczegolnie na ben lomond, beinn ime i loch long :)
.
.
trip to the cobbler and beinn narnain, part 1. I uploaded pictures from those mountains separately because on beinn narnain we were together with basia & kris who didn't join us on the track to the other peak, the cobbler.
description of the route to the cobbler.
.
the cobbler 2900ft (884m)

the mountain was quite easy to climb, first a long walk along the glen and then 'rocky stairs' to the peak. spectacular views to ben lomond, beinn ime and loch long

ku jej niezadowoleniu, zabronilam beacie wchodzic na sama gore
she was really unhappy about it but I forbade beata going to the very top.

HART FELL -SADDLE YOKE

wycieczka szczytami wokolo dolinki blackhope, niedaleko moffat. duzo by opowiadac o tym dniu.... hmm... po pierwsze -nie bierzcie tam swoich dzieci :)
zaczelo sie od tego ze aby przejsc dookola szczytami to trzeba sie najpierw wskrabac na ten pierwszy.. a dokladnie wczolgac... gdyz nie ma tam sciezki i trzeba po prostu zrobic sobie male wczolganie prawie na czworaka po super-stromym zboczu. takie wejscie na pierwszy szczyt zajelo nam 2 godziny... potem bylo juz lepiej gdyz skads pojawila sie sciezka! skad sie tam wzieli ludzie ktorzy ja wydeptali na szczycie??? (a nie ma sladu sciezki na zboczu????) no niewazne.. w kazdym razie potem bylo juz tylko lepiej i wejscie na hart fell oraz na koncu na giganta saddle yolk nie stanowilo wiekszego problemu. udalo nam sie nawet spotkac stadko dzikich koz... chcielismy nawet jedna na obiad... ale skubane, szybkie sa :)
aha - oczywiscie prognoza pogody nas oklamala (dlaczego mnie to nadal dziwi po tylu latach?!?!) mialo byc cieplo i slonecznie, a tymczasem....
.
pojechali z nami justyna & stephen
.
szczyty:
swatte fell (729m) - falcon craig (724m) -hart fell (808m) - hartfell rig (739m) - saddle yoke (720m)
.

nice walk on the hart fell ridges (horseshoe) above the glen of black hope, near moffat. I could say a lot about that trip, first of all -DON'T TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THERE!
well, to have a walk on the ridges, first you have to climb up to the top of the first hill, right? and that was the first (and only) problem. there was no path! to climb to the top of swatte fell we had to crawl (on our knees almost!) thru the grass on a pretty steep slope. that took us about 2 hours. from that point it got only better because, here's a miracle - there was a path on the top (where did all those people come from!?!?) anyway, after we crawled first hill the walk was quite nice and easy, even climb to the top of hart fell and the giant saddle yoke wasn't that hard. we also saw a wee group of wild goats :) none of them was happy to be our dinner (they were quite fast!)
oh, the weather forecast lied to us too, we expected sunshine!
.
joined us: justyna & stephen

hills:
swatte fell (729m) -falcon craig (724) -hart fell (808m) -hartfell rig (739) -saddle yoke (720m)
