Not checked out Seil Island yet. Keep meaning too.
Climbed to the summit of Ben Nevis which was fun, but tough going in places. I always find the descents harder than the asscents. Really gets me on the ankles :'( .
Not been up Ben Nevis yet. Yup sometimes coming down is harder than going up. It’s the knees with me. Though my ankles tire too – in fact everything starts going at the end of a long walk.
I use poles pretty much all the time. I only really put them away if I need to use my hands, or it’s winter and I need to carry or use my axe.
Poles are kinda like 4wd going uphill. They steady you over rough ground, great for river and burn crossings, plus great for saving you when you slip.
This is Marsco on Skye, taken the same week.
