Dumgoyne - 427m
Wednesday 30th December 2009
Wednesday 30th December 2009
Weather/Conditions: Like a winter Munro - lots of snow, crap weather and high winds at the summit. Needed crampons to stay on the summit of Dumgoyne (a rare occasion).
Distance/Ascent/Time: 8.1km / 370m / 2h 25m
Accompanying: Alone
I later compared this in my mind to being a winter Munro. It felt that harsh and was the most memorable part of the day. It also left me at 99 mountains in 2009 and I had one more day to climb the last. The following day I notched that number up to 100 on Auchineden Hill with dad.
A note on the images: I accidentally underexposed the lot, and bringing them back up to true brightness leaves them looking a bit odd.
