Well?

Unless good reason can be found otherwise I propose Point 5 is renamed No. 1 Gully to better harmonise the naming system to what would be a more aesthetically pleasing sequence of integers.

In reply to Removed User:

Tower Gully was originally named No. 1 Gully, but for some unknown reason (to me) a long time ago its name was changed.
I would be interested to know why.

In reply to Removed User:

Observatory Gully is Number 1 Gully.

In reply to Removed User:

There is, but the entrance is hidden. Rumour has it that if you find it, it leads directly into Andy Nisbet's head.

In reply to Grahame N:

I thought Gardyloo Gully was the original No. 1 Gully.

In reply to planetmarshall:

you have to run at it, shouting, and believing that it will open for you. It doesn't work for muggles.

In reply to Mark Bannan:
sounds more like a number two gully to me

In reply to pebbles:

Ba dum tsch

In reply to Mark Bannan:

I think Gardyloo was originally called Tin Can Shoot or something like that, because it was used to drop rubbish down from the old Observatory. At least that's what my little book I had about the Observatory told me, but I can't find it to back that up so I may be talking total rubbish!

Observatory Gully into Tower would make most sense in my mind as no.1 Gully on the Ben.

In reply to Grahame N:

I imagine because Tower Gully is a better name

In reply to Nath93:

Gardyloo was the old cry in Edinburg when the contents of the chamber pot were chucked out the window, from the french gardez l'eau. Gardyloo gully was so called cos all the rubbish from the Observatory was chucked down there.

In reply to Removed User:
Everyone would naturaly assume No 1 Gully, would indeed be the best one to climb, that's the number 1 gully on The Ben!!

Therefor, Minus 2 should be No 1 Gully,
Vanishing - No 2
Zero - No 3

You would then have to continue up Tower Ridge anti clockwise, back down the Minus Face, round the back of CIC and back up....

In reply to Stuart the postie:


Minus 2 - agreed. Zero ahead of Point 5 though? Controversial!

In reply to Tricadam:

and Vanishing ahead of Point Five? It's good, but a bit short in comparison.

In reply to planetmarshall:


I think that got the most 'likes' I've ever seen in a UKC thread. Well done.

In reply to Removed UserBwox:


Thanks, but not even close.

In reply to JimR:


If you were lucky! I believe a favourite trick was to empty the pot on someone and then shout "Gardyloo"!
