Im actually really looking forward to this. Forecast indeed looks good for the day, no worries putting my tent up,,trying out a wee pop up one,,so the issue might be putting it down again. Im tentatively planning to do Etive Beag on the Tuesday before camping,,then heading up Fort Bill way on Thurs,,for travels unknown,,,,

Midges, schmidges,,armed with jungle formula and skin so soft,, they don't normally bite me but taking no chances.

Clachaig here I come,,,can see I've got MY priorities sorted. lol

I'm working Tues morning but got the afternoon off. I might head up by Loch Tay, and nip up Meall nan Tarmachan on the way, weather permitting. Looking forward to a pint in the Clachaig and some of their fine scran.

Dear mum,,,this is my last post on here, for a while,, I hope,,Im off to the rocky nirvana they call the mighty AONACH EAGACH. It may be hard, it may be soul wrenchingly beautiful, indeed, I may shed a tear, through awe or OUCH but I WILL prevail........ and those nice boys from Walk Highlands will make sure I get down ok!

Bon Voyage and Bonne chance everyone!

If there are any problems, text me on both.

Things are looking good, all the kit sorted, car washed, weather forecast looking good, bravery pills in the car, hopefully not too much traffic to 'get in my way' Looking forward to the drive from Tyndrum to Glencoe, one of my faourites

Envy and jealousy are apparently really bad characteristics in a person...

She types, enviously and jealously!!!

Have a great day folks, and am looking forward to the walk reports on here.

We were in An Torr car park last night and The Clachaig but didn't sign up as weren't sure of the weather.

This is an image of the ridge about 08.30 this morning.

We went fishing instead. I hope all are safe and well and will look back for reports.

Conditions up top were safe enough Dougster ... clag hung around though which was both annoying and atmospheric. Cracking day out.

Cheers to Gill for putting this all together and everyone else for a fine day out
