I'm going to do this circuit and wondered if anyone else wants to come :)

I'll be over in FW on the 7th April - so we could set out any time between 8th - 12th April. The route isn't set in stone and could be between 3 and 5 days depending on the munro's we wanted to cover.

This would obviously involve a fair bit of wild camping, but if you dont have the appropriate stuff, I could probably beg, borrow or steal extra kit for you to borrow. It would be a good opportunity if you are an avid daywalker but aren't confident about wild camping.

Obviously this isn't going to be a route for beginners or the unfit, but wholly rewarding for the serious baggers out there if these hills are still red on your munro map.

Just thought I would throw it out there as a possibility.. I do enjoy a good walk with some random peeps :lol:

Camping wildly is something i really have to do more of - once is my count so far :(

I did walk the Lochaber traverse in one outing as i also did with the mamorese, drove home afterwards both times!

Pity you wernt making your way down this weekend/week as the weather looks fab.

tbh, I think it is do-able in 5.. But 6 makes for a couple of easy days midway, and a couple of nights in the luxury of bothies, so decided the extra weight of a days food was worth it! :lol:

If your first stage is through Glen Nevis toward Loch Treig we could shake hands, I´ll probably be camping at Steall Meadows between 9-11 april to walk the Ring of Steall. Look for a yellow tent :)

Happy trails!

Nae quite.. I'll look out for it from on high as we pass ;) Although, if I'm out on the hills, the clag is more or less guaranteed!

Its a nice spot to sling a tent that.. You will have a totally amazing time :thumbup:

If you are going up any of the hills, there is a vague possibility we will meet though.. Look for the sweat drenched, overladen lassie, and you can almost guarantee it will be me :lol:
