:lol: :lol: I guess I could ask which Beinn Bhan but, given your reply, I think you mean Glen Loy - sorry, 'fraid not. Quite a bit further north than that - and I see that you've been up a munro which is quite close to it. Also, not any of the other Beinn Bhans - cheers :)

Clue time:

We're 5 miles from the nearest road, and that's in a straight line.

There is an unusual feature in the lower corrie, which makes for interesting walking.

There are two Munros up and to the right that form part of a classic epic circuit of 6? Or do I now mean 5?

Off on holiday tomorrow so the clues might have to get easier in the morning!
