Goatfell 2013

Alarm at 8:30 am, and a hearty breakfast ensures that we are ready for a good climb.We are climbing Goatfell today, the highest peak on Arran, at 2866 feet.  Sunny skies, temperature of 10 degrees, and windy conditions greet us. I had climbed Goatfell in 1982 with $5.00 sneakers, no food, but lots of enthusiasm! Peter and I pack tea, sandwiches, wear hiking boots and proper clothing. The climb is still a challenge!
