Turangawaewae is the Maori concept of 'a place to stand', a place of empowerment, connection, foundation. I'm pretty sure Scotsmen felt something similar in the highlands.

To the top with Dad

Dad and I made our first ascent of Big Peel together in January 2010. It was a fabulous moment to share on our family mountain, and a great long day out.

About 9 hrs car to car, with most height gain up front, some threatening weather, a couple of keas, and fabulous views from the top.

Photos from Dad's phone, from which he called a few rellies to announce our summitting!
