Scotland Holiday
Saturday 6th July 2019
Saturday was the start of our homeward journey. The weather was looking best for Fort William area rather than lake district. We decided to have another climbing session at the Polldubh Crags in Glen Nevis. We packed the car up and set off for Glen Nevis.
We were surprised to see that there were no other climbers out when we arrived. We started off at a buttress called Pinnacle Ridge. We chose a route called Pinnacle Ridge Graded S, 50m over 2 pitches. It was a nice climb and I felt pleased with my efforts over the difficult sections.
Back down to our stuff we headed on up to Styx Buttress which was he next area over to a route we did before called The Gutter.
We chose to climb a route called Right Wall Graded VD, 50m over 2 pitches. It was easier than the previous route and I enjoyed the route very much. Unfortunately I think we got the downwards route slightly wrong and so we had to set up a pull through abseil to get us down. We got back to our stuff around 14:30 so we decided it was time to give up. Unfortunately I left my camera in the car so was not able to take any photos.
Back at the car we had a bit of lunch and then got on our way. We had only got half an hour down the road and we found we were sitting in traffic because of an accident, after about an hour we were on our way again. We stopped for some dinner at services before getting to the travelodge around 21:30.

We set off around 10am and headed for High Force Waterfall. We parked up and had a walk up to High Force and down to Low Force waterfalls.
We got back to the pub for 13:00 to have a roast for dinner. We had to wait quite a long time for it to arrive but when it did it was very nice when it finally did.
After dinner we set off on the next leg of our journey. We were staying with my Aunt and Uncle near Nottingham. We arrived a bit before 18:00 and were pleased to be getting out of the car. It was nice to see them as it had been a while.

This morning we had the final bit of the journey left to go. We set off around 9 and finally got home but 14:30 with a couple of stops on the way. We then had the awful task of unpacking the car!! That evening we drove up to collect Radish from his holiday. He had had a good time and enjoyed having garden to run around in. It was nice to have him home though!
We had a lovely holiday but it is always nice to be home.
