Day 3

CT - this was all about Corrieyairack Pass. Leaving FAugustus at 9 we then climbed (and for some walked) 3 hours straight to the top of the past. Peaking at 780m. It blowing a cold and strong SW in the mist. At times stunning. The rest of day was fast moving riding with the wind behind. Beautiful rolling hills and forest ringing. Good day in the saddle for some ( SCB) to report on poor saddle fitting. 

Start of 3 hour climb. 

Da boys steadily climbing towards the Corrieyairack Pass. 

Typical view....

Quick photo at the top of the pass. Blinking freezing!

House for sale. Peaceful with no neighbours. Net curtains come with the house for free! 

3 young men infront of Ruthaven castle!

Random women we wandered into riding through a forest somewhere. She (and her dog in the saddle) were riding from Cumbria to the top!
