I saw Suzette standing in our secret meeting place. It was just beneath an old and distinguished gentleman of an oak, the last surviving member of the forest that once covered these rolling hills. It stood well over a hundred feet tall. The oak’s branches forked out at twenty feet above the ground. It stretched one mighty limb across a small stream that ran lazily through the manicured grounds. A dove cooed softly somewhere in the high grass of the field beyond the stream. Walk around Llyn y Cwn before embarking on the loose scree ascent of Glyder Fawr’s northwest face. It’s a steep slog to the summit, however you will be rewarded with fabulous views of the Snowdon Massif (weather permitting!)

If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure in Scotland, then this Scotland tour is the perfect choice for you. Our exclusive walking tour will take you through the Scottish wilderness and discover the hidden gems of the Whangie and The Devil’s Pulpit. On our exclusive walking tour led by experienced guides, you’ll explore: Before use test for colourfastness: Apply a small amount of solution on an inconspicuous area and leave until dry. This not-so-secret hidden gorge is a great place to visit if you’ve been to Loch Lomond and have an hour or two to spare. Balloch to the Devil’s Pulpit is only a 9-mile drive which shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes. She starts out as a good girl, innocent and sweet, a dutiful daughter, a poor rich girl that has everything handed to her except what she really wants (Michael, we’ll get to him later) and that just wants to fly away from the nest and see what she’s made of (a combination of perfect atoms, duh)Loch Lomond and region makes for the perfect day trip or overnight stop from Glasgow. Take a look at our guide to spending two days exploring Glasgow and Loch Lomond for ideas on how to fill those two days. During my visit, I made good use of a rope that had been tied up along the length of the steps but by all accounts, this rope is often missing. If you arrive and find that the rope isn’t there then you might consider leaving Jacob’s Ladder for another time – it really is that treacherous. When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. Everything was so polished, and when I looked around at all the adults and families I grew up with, their money and designer clothes, I often saw a coat of paint that you apply when you’re trying to cover up rotting wood. There were dark deeds and bad seeds, but who cared if the house was falling apart as long as it was pretty, right?

The path down to the gorge floor, the aforementioned “Jacob’s Ladder”, is in a fairly perilous condition. If you have mobility difficulties or a serious fear of heights this might be too hard. Continue along from the summit towards Castell y Gwynt. The path climbs down boulders to the left of Castell y Gwynt, before skirting around the base and onto the final challenge.

If you’re feeling energetic this route could be extended to include the neighbouring peak of Y Garn from Llyn Idwal at the start of the hike. This would add just under 2km of distance and around 200m of ascent and descent to the route.

Did you know that not too far from Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland is a beautiful moss covered, 100ft deep gorge, through which flows an almost ruby coloured river? Currently the only parking available is the small parking area on the A809 next to the footpath just south of where the A809 crosses the glen itself.
