Sorry, hadn't noted these kind responses.

Brilliant report, the narrative and photos are superb, as for the organisation and planning, and the fun for all those involved, its beyond wonderful :clap: :clap:

Watching your gradual approach to this two striking mountains I felt I could visualise you all from the summits, paddling and porting across one of my favourite views - pure magic even for a reader, what it must have been like to be there - I'm not sure my imagination is up to your achievements :lol: :lol:


Thank you. Its all done with a healthy sense of the ridiculous, which definitely helps! :lol:


What a fantastic adventure and told very well.


Thanks, we all loved it! Just got to work out where next...

What an incredible trip! Three days’ paddling and portaging must have made the camps, and the hills, utterly magical. Truly the best trip imaginable in Scotland and surely one of the best in the world. I’m full of admiration for imagining that and making it happen.

Thanks Colin

Half the fun is imagining these trips in the first place, particularly imagining that 2 days dragging or carrying a canoe is a sensible idea in the first place!

It sounds a bit of a cliche, but I do generally believe that parts of the NW Highlands are amongst the finest landscapes in the world. Getting to spend longer than usual in them, by progressing at a snails pace in between camps drinking wine and cooking feasts, has to be the best way to appreciate them!
