Re: Bad weather on Bidean nam Bian

Hi fourpads
Some nice footage in there . Reminds me of my many trips to Bidean over the years. I always did it clockwise going up the Lost Valley first which helped on the Bidean descent. Cracking walking companion you have there as well. Cheers .

Re: South Mullardoch 8

South Mullardoch 8

Hi everyone First post on a great site :clap: Im looking at the 8 Munros South of Loch Mullardoch accessed from Glen Affric. I know the 8 can be tied into the Mullardoch 12 round but has anyone done them as the 8 ? Looking at the map there looks to be a bit of doubling back which is unavoidable but ...
