Glad to see you had views on sgurr nan Coireachan :D When I did these last year I started in glorious sunshine then ended up on the second summit in snow with no views :shock: This then turned to rain lower down and the wind picked up :( Made that walk back seem that much longer :lol:


That sounds painful! Cant imagine doing these in the snow. We were so lucky getting those views it made it all seem so much more worthwhile, especially when Gordon does not get the same buzz as me :lol:

Can just see a glimpse of the path on the walk-in. Looks like a prime candidate for the bike to take the strain. How far up does the good path go?


Path goes almost to the foot of the hills, most folk I've spoken to since have taken their bikes :?
