Having done a load of jobs around the house, I got out for an afternoon walk on a day with very strong (>60mph) winds on the high tops. I thought something a tad lower might be more pleasant!

You picked the right side of the country given the weather of the last few days! It's good to hear you had a good day; folk seem to do this walk on a poor day, for reasons which I can understand given the ski debris.

Thanks Rockhopper, Graeme, Jockstar and Monty Fine hills, and it was nice to take the extra time by staying at the bothy.

Druimguish is also a reasonably well used start point for D of E groups...
