Slieve Binnian
« on: February 22, 2010 »
Hi all,

I was out on Sat and done Binnian. Set off from carrick little car park and headed up the valley to the north end of Binnian and then climbed it up the ridge past north torr and onto the summit. Desended by following the wall down to carrick little.

Was a glorious day, not a cloud with v light winds!!

sorry no pics at moment because in work and home pc is playing up.

Binnian is prob my fav walk so far.

Cheers
andy

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea and the music in its roar; I love not man the less, but Nature more
