Towering heights carved by green valleys stretched as far as the eye could see in every direction. The trail down the other side was fascinating. We followed wide, grassy paths (old woods roads) along a frequently narrow ridge crest through countless thickets of rhododendron.

There were some inexplicably barren sandy and rocky patches amid all that lush foliage.

We had already covered almost ten miles when we stopped for lunch in a clearing at Beech Gap, three miles past the summit.
