Hi, Did this yesterday, sat. Seriously humid and warm but low cloud. The Caledonian Challenge was on but plenty of carpark space. The path has been very aestheitcally made and avoids the wee gully up to the ridge, that I did in 1990. From even 50ft below you don't see the steps snaking up the scree.Very well made. We got to the ridge and decided that the cloud was supposed to lift at midday so we trekked off to the far end munro then back to Stob Dearg. We did the top then started ten mins down the scree slope to the 860m contour then gave up since my parents dog was struggling and would really struggle on the way backup it as well. Headed back then up Stob Dearg. Back down the good path in the corrie. Very fast descending. Nick

Hi,
Did this yesterday, sat. Seriously humid and warm but low cloud.
The Caledonian Challenge was on but plenty of carpark space.
The path has been very aestheitcally made and avoids the wee gully
up to the ridge, that I did in 1990. From even 50ft below you don't
see the steps snaking up the scree.Very well made.
We got to the ridge and decided that the cloud was supposed to lift
at midday so we trekked off to the far end munro then back to Stob Dearg.
We did the top then started ten mins down the scree slope to the 860m
contour
then gave up since my parents dog was struggling and would really struggle
on the
way backup it as well.
Headed back then up Stob Dearg.
Back down the good path in the corrie. Very fast descending.

The TR was good, Nick, but attachments are a very big NO NO.
The way to go about it is to have a web site - www.fotopic.net is usually
used here, publish on that sie and provide a link to that page.
There is usually a monthly guide (at the end or beginning of the month) to
the rules of uk.rec.walking and attachments of any kind are strictly
forbidden.
We are not concerned about the occasional genuine case of ignorance, but
more about the persistant abuse from the dark force (hackers, viruses,
etc.....)
The main problem is in attachments we have no control (in many cases) over
what enters our system, whereas, pure text with links we can decide if we
want to go there or not.
If you want more info just reply to the post - without the photo - we'll all
help you as much as possible if you're confused.
Cheers
Jhimmy.

And of course those of us on binary-free news servers never saw the TR
in the first places.

70% of the time I'll usually pick up the posts on Linux - but lately I've
been using my windows system for 95% of the time! Of that I'm 101% certain.
