The forecast was for 70mph gusts with a windchill temperature of -17 degC with blizzard conditions and thunderstorms!<br /><br />Having seen Bob Ward's face from falling when walking over from Strathcarron on the Thursday in far less severe conditions it seemed like the right thing to do to go round the Coulin Pass. <br /><br />Caburn had also walked over the previous day and he thought the rivers would be way higher on Friday.<br /><br />As it happened on the day though, it seemed the forecast was way-out!<br /><br />Thanks for coming - and I am sorry I wasn't there!Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-28967271667300628842009-05-23T22:36:18.290+01:002009-05-23T22:36:18.290+01:00Well done Caburn, and Roger the Intrepid.

Nice walk in via the east ridge (only one Muro) It was a tad blustery with hail and sleet but NO CHALLENGERS! They obviously don't make 'em like they used to. Wish I was doing more than the one day.

Relatively that is as it only 25c by day which after 35c in the Galapagos means no shorts in the evening when the temperature is down to 20C.
