Last July's walk to the Flag, Me & Mehmet

[john.sheppard]

if any one can remember last june/ july the flag wasn't flying when we walked up to it at the begining of july it had been tied up and the rope had been cut, luckily there was plenty of spare rope on the flag pole, so me and mehmet took the flag down and put it back up on new rope it took us about 35 mins but it was worth it .
after having rest we carried on and walked all the way to the top of the hill as far as we could go the view is spectacular.

I have spent some time this morning scanning these photos,thank you ever so much John for sharing them, I now realise how much I have missed with being unable to do this climb myself but you have compensated me with these super views of Icmeler and its surrounding area.

Great photo's fantastic views, what time of day did you do the climb and how long did it take you, watched climbers go up to the flag many a day from Tommy's while having a cold Effes didn't realise just how big the flag is and well done for putting it back in its rightful place and well done to both of you on your climb.
