Abject apologies for missing this reply - call it a senior moment. Or something.

Yes, near enough. The hill is Gleouraich, and the corrie is Fraoch Choire.

Over to you... (if it's not too late... :oops: )

Sorry, not there. It is NW Highlands though.

Off to the hills for a few days so reply might be delayed.

We're on a loch with a name that is quite popular for lochs.

I think the loch is Fionn Loch above the Kirkaig Falls, looking towards Cul Mor. Coire Grom is I think the big corrie on Cul Mor's north side?

And in first place, FraserH, with the silver medal going to HMHT.

Thought that last clue might speed it up a bit!


Over to you Fraser
