Well done for keeping going.I did the same thing with water when I did my first solo munro too, and the strap broke on my pole so I can sympathise.Makes you appreciate them when you do have them!

Was up there myself at weekend,it really was windy but like you say the views were really good

yes Taylor94 will do,will be out on sunday 9th october next,weather permitting,not sure where yet but will keep in touch.

Great effort Gary, I still haven't done these 5 in one go and its on my doorstep (its just too damn far for me :shock: ) don't know if I will get back to that level of ability either, best I can do is about 15 miles at present. That picture of corrie with you at the cairn is hilarious , she looks a...

Thanks Rockhopper,could not complain about weather and the views were even better than I thought,the walkback was a killer though,sorry you never got to fully appreciate the views for yourself,a real pity

thats good,where you heading for?

Great effort Gary, good decision to keep going - often taking a moment to gather yourself is the best thing to do. Some nice pics even with the clag rolling in and out. Corrie looks like a movie star dog :D thanks ChrisW,It does help stopping,calmed me down to.She is my parents dog,she is a bit off...

Well done on getting these done Gary, fine pair of hills. I'd work on the navigation if I were you, save yourself some energy. :) Had a double-take on your last photo, thought you'd placed a wee cairn on your dog's head for a second. :lol: thanks skuk,was bit annoyed at myself for missing path but ...

Thank you for comments,I will be honest if the weather was worse think Carolyn would just have done two munros as we speak.We were lucky with weather I think,I could live with it being like that everytime I went out,am afraid we did not get into cafe as we had four dogs with us however our sunday te...

Was on my own again this weekend for my walk so thought i would try something that would take most of the day as I won't have many more chances this year.Had a quick look on WH and opted for the White Mounth Munros.Had a look at the route and distance and it states it is 18 miles, this was really go...

Well done Gary. Congratulations on your first munro. Have you got the bug to get to the top of some more now? Thanks Lenster,got the bug alright,done another ten since this,just a bit slow at writing reports up,think they take me longer than the actuall walk. Excellent effort Gary, I dont think man...
