Ive been up the devils coach road and then followed the path over cove mountain and then lamagan takin me to binnian, but ive got a real urge to tackle this baby head on, suppose its just really to say that ive done it.

It's easy to go up and over Lamagan without even really seeing that part of it.  Face on would be cool.  Looked like a darlin' of a day alright.

Your 3rd picture looks like the route my walking partner and I came down a few months ago. We met a gut at the top who told us a "more interesting way" to go down  ::) It certainly was more interesting... I thought i might actually die  :'( the experience nearly put me off walking ever again, but hey ho, I was up again the next week and learned a valuable lesson.. stick to your own route at all times  ;D

 We met a gut



Meant to say Guy...  but gut also seems appropriate (i'll not say what we really called him when we eventually made it down  ;) )

thanks for sharing the pics john, we'll have to go up together for an assualt on that 3rd chamber of percy, that would have been a good place for the geocache  ;D

i don't think its a drop down, just a tight squeeze with arms stretched in front of you and wiggle in on your belly, was a bit much for me with my claustophobia but i will do it some day, oh yes, i will ...
