Today's expedition was to our highest summit yet, a full twenty four feet higher than our previous record last year, at 3,035 feet.
We started early, in low cloud from base camp, but emerged from that at around 1,200 feet, into a full summer's day.
The route is via a concessionary path through a military training area, often closed in the week, but they rarely shoot at you at the weekends.
There are warning signs urging you to leave any unknown objects alone, but it was remarkable that there was just nothing anywhere, not a single piece of litter of any description. The only non-natural objects abandoned were coats and bags which had looked useful in the fog at the bottom, but became surplus to requirements for the long haul to the top, left in prominent places to be collected on the way down.
The view from the top was spectacular - we picked a good day. This is about 3/4 of the way up.
Our route was from the plain at the bottom, then along the ridge in the centre - a bit harder than it looks there...
About four miles and 2,500 feet of a climb.
The summit is the peak in the distance, just to the left of centre, and the route is along the ridge on the right.
