"Rain or shine, we will climb!" is what Dana informed us well ahead of arrival, before the weekend. So at the reasonable hour of 11am, the hearty members of the wedding party set out to climb up the nearby mountain.
It was a lot more steep a climb than it appears in this photo, taken in the early stages of our assent.
Dave, the new hubby, wore his kilt for the climb and is clearly camera shy.
The group climbed at varied rates and occasionally factions would stop to enjoy the view and let others catch up a bit.
I love my panorama phone app. ❤
As members of our group reached the near-top destination of Glen Esk, they'd get a warm "well done" as sandwiches and jokes were exchanged freely.
Dave was mostly at the front of the pack while Dana walked a more relaxed pace with a couple of her aunties at the back. You'd have thought they were separated for a month the way they greeted each other.
There was a beautiful loche at the destination. Fearless Dave took on the dare to swim in the glacier cold water. What a sport.
Later, after dinner we all went for a nice goodbye stroll along the road around the Inn. It was peaceful and beautiful.
