Did wonder if you'd write a report

Huge congratulations again :clap: :clap: :clap: It's been a pleasure joining you on some of your walks and watching you progress through the Munros and had always hoped I'd be there for the last one :D

I just hope my video will give you great memories of the day for a long time to come.. I've came a long way from a quick panorama on the summit to the International blockbusters they are now :lol: :lol: :lol:

Catch up with you again soon :D

Thanks to everyone that passed on their thoughts/comments, it is appreciated!
I'm glad that you enjoyed the report and pictures, but I would say that a more skilled photographer and wordsmith would have been more desirable, my words and snaps don't do the day justice.

Scoob, I'm looking forward to your work!
