little over-enthusiastic in my bid to capture the stunning day, and made Mr R climb the 302 steps to the top of the <a

mountains from the top.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s a long way up, and the stairs are very narrow in places, so it&#8217;s not for the faint-hearted (definitely glad I didn&#8217;t have the
