SCOTLAND CONTINUED 19 MAY 22 BEN MORE HIKE
Today dawned sunny and clear and probably weather-wise our only day to hike Ben More starting at Dhiseig. Mull's highest mountain and only Munro starting at sea level we climbed every inch of the way to the summit 3150 ft. This is a serious mountain and much of the upper section is scree and rock with a huge amount of bog on the way! So proud to reach the summit albeit in cloud with no views at all. We didn't stop long a the top but descended to find a sheltered place for lunch and some views. Took us 6 hours altogether including stops to complete the 5 and half miles. I found it dreadful coming down and developed pain in my knees....must be my age!
