Always does, quick plan might be to meet up in the car park by milton cottage, throw everything into the one and join the queue to get down the glen

This may require a re think, just checked and the gate closes at 6pm :shock:

Obviously this won't include the time to get up and down the glen.

WH estimate 7-10hrs, would be tough to get all 4 in :(

How do you fancy tackling the "Sisters" as plan B Gary?

Original plan was for the Strathfarrar 4, then I checked the access times and it's 9-6 which might be pushing it to get the round finished, so changed it to the Grey Corries, though depending on weather, may change again :lol:
