Big route for us - still not feeling on top form, but forgetting that when we plan routes :roll: :lol: Lots of stops and slow going, but we did it, got the 1 new Top we were after and an inversion too 8) :D

Not much to see when we set off

Peeling off up the first hill, it wasn't long before we were breaking through the cloud

As we climbed, the drop between this pair and Stob Daimh didn't look too bad - still had a spring in our steps

On to new ground for us now, picking out a line that we can take up the other side

Steep drop from Beinn a' Chochuill, made Scoob's feet even more sore, so it was a slower climb up this side

The Munro Top, Sron an Isean - reached with much relief!

Stob Daimh - our final summit for today :)

Looking back to where we've been - heading back under that Top to get down again

One of many rest stops on the way down the shoulder. Putting on brave faces :D My knees were feeling it and Scoob's feet were in tatters

On the track past the quarry and the coos, nearly there now :)

Our stats were close for today, supporting Scoob's theory of the wind affecting them as there was hardly any breeze at all
