looking out to the mull of kintyre and ailsa craig - it's about 7 in the evening and the day has been glorious. some of us are hungry for food and some just want to keep on climbing.
gerry sings to the seal people.
this dessicated sheep was lying near the cliff path. it had
a red mark around its neck
which was probably dye. both its hind legs were in different
places further along the track. someone said to me afterwards
that last year dead cattle and sheep were just dumped over the
cliff to rot on the sea shore. this corpse was wind dried and
didn't stink.

the view from ballycastle just before we
go in and get our dinner. i'm starving but this sunset is just
so lilac and orange i didn't know then that on sunday i would have another fantastic day when i seconded an amazing climb called burn up, a 3 pitch hvs that's 5a all the way up. even the approach thru a cathedral like steep descent called grey man's gully was awesome. |
