Quick business trip up to Scotland should always accommodate a hill. So after a hard afternoons graft in the office with fellow forumite boy vertiginous, Dumyat was suggested due to ease of climb and proximity to office.

Could not have asked for a better walk or hill. Magnificent sunset to the west as we descended.

Not the best photos, but at least they give a flavour of the wonderful views

Haha, just found this lurking down on page 4!

Good, fast-paced midweek wander.

Good to get a look at the replacement A&SH Memorial, my grandfather's regiment.
