5 of us (Dangerous Dave, me, Eilidh, Stevo & Ronnie) managed to keep this date in our diaries free
unlike some others (who will remain nameless............but they still managed to find time to get up Dumgoyne
) and as predicted the weather was pretty kind to us. A couple of heavy hail showers passed by us but we managed on the whole to avoid a soaking, which is just as well as Eilidh managed to turn up without her boots................good start! Footwear problems aside, we had great weather and a cracking day, we all loved Ben Challum and would recommend you save it for a nice day, the views are awesome! Here's some snaps from our day.
And.................we're off!
