Last Sunday myself and Phil thought we would get in training for the Pyrenees. So we took lots of healthy snacks and did the long walk up to the top. Bird wise very quiet with just two pairs of Ravens and a couple of Carrion Crows and that was it .
Nice pics, Martin, The cliff you can see in the fourth photo down held a secret that lasted most of the second world war. A Spitfire on a training exercise disappeared without trace, no one having a clue where it had gone, until the end of the war, when fragments of it were found below the cliff, the rest of it being literally plastered onto the cliff face, just below the summit by the speed and force of the impact, complete with the pilot's remains. There are still small fragments of aluminium from the spit, embedded in the cliff face.
Nice photos Martin. Glad you didn't mention that I fell on the way down.
ReplyDeleteWould never do that mate ,
