Interesting, they're using Inchgreen Drydock for something. I've climbed all those cranes 😀

That must be from the previous weekend. I started up there on Saturday, climbing through Hermitage Woods where the ground was frozen rock solid. Popped out onto the road for the final wee climb up onto Dumyat itself and was met by a warm breeze. The difference in temperatures above and below the inversion was amazing. However, it did mean that the lower slopes of Dumyat were a mudbath. I ended up turning at the midway boggy bit and heading down Witches Craig, as I didn't want to cut up the track any worse than it already was.

I'd hoped for frozen conditions like there were in that lovely photo, but alas no. It's a place that's best left for dry days, or rock hard frozen
