I've got the 17-40 just now but I'll be picking up the 24-105 before my trip to Hawaii in august. Assuming you took your pano shots handheld what software did you stitch them with ? Ptgui?
Ok back to the hill walking
No worries xpfloyd - Yeah they are all handheld and I use Photoshop to stitch em up (cos I'm old fashioned)

Magic report Chris with some stunning photo's, really takes me back. Cant wait to get back up there now! Very well done.
Thanks happydays, its a great place to go, probably better to do the 5 whilst you're up there

Well done Chris. As always, excellent photos along with an excellent report The view of the lochan looking down from the crags was excellent, but so were all the others And as so many have already said, the personal achievement is something to be celebrated - we've all of us been there in some way be it with walking the hills or other aspects of our lives, so well done on that one too
Thanks PeteR, I was surprised by the number of people who came up and didn't even bother looking over the edge or down to the lochan, I think they missed out in their hurry to tick a hill

Glad you are back to full health Chris. As you say its only your fitness you need to worry about. That will take care of its self as long as you are hitting the hills.
What an amazing set of pics. It's just a shame I'm viewing them on my Android phone.
Ps.. did the cash you save on the parking go towards your tyre fund !!
Thanks Dave - those pics must have looked small on the phone, I struggle to see 'em on here. Oh yeah thanks for reminding me about that damn tyre...... now instead of being £3 up I'm only £147 down

Great trip report and absolutely brilliant photos, the panoramas are magnificent!
I plan to go up there next Saturday and am hoping to get the five - you've gotta aim high!
I was wondering how much water is obtainable from burns once you are up there?
Thanks JW - good luck with the 5, I reckon you'll do it
There is a good burn close to the lochnagar descent and definitely on the descent of broad cairn but I've not walked across between the 2, there are waterfalls at the end of the glen so they are being fed from somewhere up there....sorry I can't be of much help on that mate but good luck with the 5
