Actually, the trip wasn't that quick. Set off at mid day, didn't get back to the car until 9:00pm. The reason why - the fantastic views. Just spent the day lazing away and watching the world go by.

The trek started off badly. It was extremely misty and there was light rain. Visibility was down to about 50 feet. I have taken many trips up, and have never really had a proper clear day at the top to enjoy the views. With us, was my good buddy Peter and his dogs. I was desperate for the mist to clear as this was Peter's first time. It was going to be a difficult hike for him as he has 2 dodgy knees. When we got to the top, it was still misty, but fortunately, within 15 minutes, the mist had totally cleared.

Finally, 2 tired dogs having a power nap before resuming the journey home.

Beautiful pictures. Makes me wish I wasn't stuck in Great Lakes, IL right now, and I could be out spending some time with my girl and pup. That last picture I can especially relate to lol
 
Great pictures! Those dogs look well sleepy - probably what I would be like after that!

Yes, they were quite tired. They had no problems resuming the journey back to the car. They slept most of the drive home and had a lie in the next morning.
