Goatfell (Isle of Arran)

(7.9.2014) Goatfell corrie to Brodick 15.8km 6hours 26mins

 It was an early start with Ptarmigan Club as we got on the bus at 7am to travel to Ardrossan for the ferry to Arran. Me and Shane got on the local bus to Corrie then followed the path up West up Coire Lan to North Goatfell 768m. We then headed NE to the minor top Mullach Buidhe 829m before heading back along the ridge.  We had fun scrambling & taking the path over the granite pinnacles and boulder fields to the summit of Goatfell 874m. We then descended  down the East ridge, the shoulder of  Meall Breac then South down the tourist path back to Brodick Bay. A couple of cheeky pints were to be had before the ferry back to Ardrossan.
