Did the very entertaining Via Ferrata at Castala yesterday with Dexter and Felipe. Ladders, walkways, balance bar, Tyrolean traverses, wire bridges, pendulums. Also 2 abseils - 18m and 30m. Lots of fun in the afternoon shade near Berja. Well worth a visit!

2 people climb iron rungs cemented into the rock face. Both wear helmets
A person abseils down a steep cliff
A tough overhang climbed with the aid of metal rungs built into the orange rock

@NormanDunbar after the initial trepidation, the transition from a horizontal to a vertical world seems to go fine. Once you get used to the initial exposure the fact that you are clipped in at every stage means you actually feel quite safe.

Discovering all sorts of alternative #search engines today ... #Searx and #Mojeek have piqued my curiosity in particular.

@AdamBishop I alternate at present between #Searx #DuckDuckGo and #Kagi (paid). Not tried #Mojeek

@AdamBishop going to give Mojeek a whirl. Thanks for "heads up"

@alexlac51 fantastic. Didn't see them in Balloch but saw them later at Stirling Castle. Atmospheric!

@NormanDunbar @alexlac51 I was having my stag weekend staying at the Clachaig Inn in Glencoe. We travelled back to Stirling to see them. Well worth it

I'd love to be able to say that I'm rich and clever enough to have built an infinity pool. But ... I'm not. Its the reflections in our coffee table :sablobsmilehappy: :dance_cool_doge:

Interesting day yesterday doing a via ferrata whilst being filmed by the BBC as part of an upcoming TV series. Not allowed to mention details but it was great to see how professional film crews set up to capture such things. One thing that struck me ... "Aren't all the film crew (4 cameramen, producer, sound man, director, fixer etc) so young? Or is it that I am just so old 😀 Anyway, a lot of fun!

Spring Gentian (Gentiana sierrae). Endemic to Spain's Sierra Nevada grows between 1800m and 3200m. Lucky enough to see loads of these beautiful flowers today in a high valley at 2300m
