I can't find the old thread so if folk don't mind in honour of Easter and the decluttered GD forum ill start another.

For me it's the first munro baggging trip of the year up to get 4 from Loch Quoich.

After 3 weeks off the hills - any mountain will do :lol: :lol:

We hope to bag Beinn Dearg from Blair Atholl if weather is good in that direction.

Not on the hills at the moment, but if the weather remains as it is now, probably a beach near Melbourne with the Australian half of the family....

Mt. Baldy - San Bernardino Mountains, California. :D

Trying to convince my American in-laws that taking a ski-lift up the lower section is DEFINITELY cheating, and that points would be deducted by my fellow WH'ers....

4 for, only 2 against; not sure i'm gonna get my way..... :think:

The Sgurr nan clach geala trio, or Sgurr Breac/An Chailleach. Did fancy An Teallach but think I'll keep that for when my cousin is free cos he wanted to do the ridge there and its probably not something I should do on my own.
And I'll be fitting a new injection system to a 41 year old car. Rock n roll :lol:

Oh thats not true.. I love it when there is a ski lift or something - makes the day more exciting because you are doing something you dont usually get to do :wink:

Anyway, I thought we were going to the Alder region, but Dougie has decreed we are going up Glen Carron.. 8) :lol:
Looks like we may have some friendly company ;)

I'm not going anywhere :( :( :(
I am stuck offshore with no end in sight ... which means I will probably dip out on my planned week wandering round the Cairngorms without a care in the world :( :(

Bowes for a wedding via the A66 traverse. Once there reverse route to the Morritt Arms to tackle the feasting. As the day wears on I will have to down several pints before ending up benighted under the table until rescued by taxi man who'll charge the earth to get me home safel.

heading to Skye straight from work tomorrow. No munros, just introducing some friends to the awesomeness of Skye, hiking and wild camping. Maybe some easy walks around the Fairy Pools and a trip up to the Old Man of Storr
