A very good read - thanks. I live only a few miles from this round but have never given these hills any thought. After reading your report that will soon be remedied!

From the photographs I assume this walk took place last summer. Perhaps changing the date of the walk would be helpful to avoid confusion.

Very sad news and, for once, the term 'legendary' is appropriate.

Since then I've climbed many hills and also been diverted into sailing and other things. During lockdown it occurred to me that a 50 year round was possible if I get a mo...

I too have enjoyed your reports mixed with a mild feeling of guilt. I now live only a few miles from Achnashellach and have done most of those hills this year however being able to choose the day and return home to a non deflating bed is very different from camping in a small tent and taking what ev...

Good report, thanks. I was one of the solo walkers you met just below the plateau and sadly no view on Fhada so your film fills the gaps! Two hours later the cloud lifted and justified toiling up A' Ghlas Bheinn.
