Title: First time on Binnian
Post by: Glenn B on December 29, 2013

Just a few quick photos from our first trip up Binnian on a really cold windy day the top of the south tor was covered in thick icy frost which prevented us from getting our hands on the post photos :(

I was standing on the other side of the valley taking pictures of you taking pictures of me  :)  It was a cracker of a day all right.

Slieve Binnian is a big hulk of a thing, I've been up it a few times but there are whole bits of it I still have to explore.

Its massive you could easily spend the whole day exploring around the tors I didn't realise myself that the summit stretchs out so far between the two peaks, a crackin mountain and amazing viiews in all directions. 8)

Binnian is a great spot, very accessible too. We camped on it a few times but it was always well windy.
