Hillwalking the Cobbler


What a day, brilliant i took junior squiro "aged 5" and my neice "aged 7" hillwalking today up the cobbler just at Arocher, it was a gorgous day with the sun splitting the trees...

we left at 8am with Mrs Squiro and her friend C as well as the father in law "who is an experienced climber"... the two kids have never done anything like this before or anything close, its a steep walk right up to the base of the mountain and then a scramble up rocks to get to the top "2946 ft" its about 5 and a half miles walking to the base and 5 and a half back so not for the unfit.

the both of them were like mountain cats and loved every minute of it, they were not even phased by the height at the top of the mountain.. so Hats of to them they were brilliant..

I think it will be a bath and an early night for the two of them...
