I am considering a workshop in the Inverpolly region in January. I searched this site and didn't find many recent posts from that area (most were pre-2014). I've read through the material in Dougie Cunningham's book which was helpful. The photos I've seen are fantastic and the area looks very stimuating. But, I have been left with some questions.
I am a bit uncertain what the conditions will be like, especially in January. A lot of the best locations in Dougie's book seem to involve scaling to the top of mountains. Despite being 67, I'm OK with long walks and climbs (I recently did the Cleveland Way). But, I'm not keen on exposed ridges, skree and similar footing instabilities, rough camping and such like. Having to scale uneven and exposed paths in the pre-dawn or post-dusk time periods woud be uncomfortable. This has left me wondering how well I would do in this region. I may be over-worrying. But, it can be hard to tell from afar.
Any advice would be appreciated.
