madfrankie on Ben Bury, 2006
by madfrankie  21 Aug 2006
After all the excitement of the Ben Lugmore ridge, Ben Bury proved to to be somewhat more prosaic. From Ben Lugmore West Top it's a short and easy slope to the broad col. Easy walking across a stony, grassless plateau to the summit cairn. Mind you, the views may be the best I've ever seen from a summit: the blue island-speckled atlantic to the west, and the bulk of Mweelrea to the south.
