brillaint days on the beautiful island of Arran in Scotland. An amazing range of spectacular rugged mountains for such a small island. The weather was mixed on Saturday- Damp starting off, then cleared somewhat and a downpour for the final descent. SATURDAY- started from Glen Sannox and climbed to Cioch na h-Oighe with some nice easy scrambling. Followed the ridge to where it widens out at Mullach Buidhe. Followed zig-zag path to col below north Goatfell. Up over this (818m) and then scrambled along Slacach ridge to summit of 
Goatfell , Arran's highest point at 874m. Descended a great track down glen to Brodick in torrential rain.SUNDAY- Cloudless skies and not a breeze !
Things were looking much better from the outset on day 2. Once again we found ourselves in Glen Sannox. It seemed a completly different place than only 24 hours previously. Basked in sunlight the wonderful autumn colours of the glen made a truly beautiful sight. We were on the oposite side of the valley today climbing up to the ridge at Suidhe Fhearghas we continued along a fantastic ridge towards Caisteal Abhail. The ridge was pretty straightforward until around the witches step area where a few tricky rock steps had to be negotiated. A quick lunch on the Caisteal and we descended towards Cir Mhor. The lads then headed off to try the A'Chir ridge and I descended from the head of Glen Rosa on a long walk out (9km) back to Brodick.
