The Phoenix Rises

By sheilaM

The intrepid clamberers.

The midsummer camp up on top of Beinn Sgritheall, ( Ben Screel ), had to be abandoned, due to the weather forcast, but the group pictured, went ahead with the ascent anyway. It may have taken a few hours more than they envisaged, but they all made it in one piece.

We waited and waited and drank coffee at the "Tea Hut", and waited. Eventually the binoculars picked out the specks clambering down the steep slope on the other side. Was very glad to see the specks get down.

(Nearly got run down by a G in a jeep, but he waved nicely and sped off.)

Happy Midsummer everyone.
