I am sure some of you know that the name Lochnagar properly belongs to the small loch at the foot of the NE corrie. But is used to describe the range of hills we were on on sunday , the name means Tarn of the noisy wind.
Well no wind on Sunday but Dario more than made up for that being his normal self all the way to the plateau, We were passed Cac Carn Mor (1150 meters so box ticked their) by about 200 meters or so when he took ill.
Cac Carn Mor means Big Shit Cairn, our next stop was Cac Carn Beag which means Little Shit Cairn.
Seems all very fitting we called him a lot worse names on sunday.
All who were their worked to save his life and never gave up hope, for 2 hours we did all we could , in truth he did not suffer for more than a few minuites, he died with some of his WHW family around him.
I will miss my friend Dario very much.
