Rhinog Fawr and the roughest ridges
After a 2km in 2 hour N-S traverse over Rhinog Fawr from Roman steps, I got thinking about what would be the top dozen slowest 2km ridges in Britain... A bit tricky really as you get into 'what is a ridge' and all that. Anyway, for debate, here are a few contenders..excluding skye as you could probably take any 2km stretch of the Cuillin.
Carn Mor Dearg to Ben Nevis
An Teallach (S top to Sgurr Fiona)
Liathach (Spidean to Mullach)
Aonach Eagach ridge - Glencoe
Garbh Cioch Mor to Sgurr na Ciche (knoydart)
Ill Crag to Scafell in the lakes
Crib Goch to Bwlch Glas (col below Snowdon)
Tryan to Glyder Fach (only 1km between the summits - the slowest km, I reckon)
Roman Steps to Bwlch Drws Adudwy over Rhinog Fawr
I suspect there could be more in the Rhinogs and also in Knoydart, and also on the Rhum ridge...and then there is Ireland...
