I think you could actually photograph it quite safely as the approach is not exposed to the sea.

You’re on! Another trip with Andy McInroy: Adventure Photographer and Mountain Goat.

We’ll let everybody believe that. I’ll arrange for sherpas, hot tubs and a field kitchen.

Here’s a page from Geograph which shows the rock outcrop where I was stood.

Brian,

It’s not a particularly difficult gully. There is vague evidence of it being trodden before. I know that there is another steep descent along at Contham head so it is possible that some people know about this wilderness walk along the base of Bengore head.

I’m really drawn to the 3rd image Andy.
Lovely.
