If you would like to get in touch, to report a new problem, or query existing ones, please contact me at lee@betaguides.com.
A perfect problem, enlightening. A good problem, worth doing. A good but bizarre problem, often morpho. A dangerous problem, tread carefully. A power problem, not for weaklings. A technical and delicate problem. A dynamic or a long reach problem. Needs cold conditions. Traverse. Attempted or future project
BEINN ALLIGIN
NR 868 603
Beinn Alligin giant amphitheatre of boulders sitting under the jewelled mountain consisting of dense clusters and scattered free standing boulders, good clean rock, easily found following traversing deer paths below the horns of Alligin. Listen to the underground streams and beware of the frogs!!!!!
