Ivan walked Ord Ban.

ascended Ord Ban a sub-2000 foot hill next to Loch an Eilean on 23rd July. It is 428 m high which equals 1407 feet. It is one of the foothills of the Cairngorms at Rothimurchas near Aviemore.




As he climbs he leaves the bracken behind and can see the peak in the distance.



A narrow path leads him onward.



He sees the trig point in the distance.




The trig point is far too smooth for Ivan to climb so he ascends a nearby rock face.




He rests before attempting a leap onto the concrete pillar.



He prepares himself to leap.



Thankfully he manages to make a leap for figure kind onto the pillar. He takes a short rest and views the surroundings.



He stands proudly and wonders how the heck he’s going to get down intact?


Pictures were taken by Ivan.

Fantastic Alex my friend   And Ivan ,

I’m very pleased that you thought these photos that Ivan had taken were fantastic. So It’s only about a half hours drive from where you Stay hu. I agree with you It's a beautiful part of the Highlands, sadly I wasn’t there, Ivan was out there with his other friend Jackie that he goes hill walking with.

I agree with you on that they are great shots Dal. Ivan is very very skilled and most importantly patient at posing a figure or figures in very natural poses for photos. They stay in their very natural pose without falling over most of the time .
