Day 2 based at the very modest yet lovely Killin hotel. The forecast warned me that there would be zero views but I was determined anyway :crazy: .

This route of 4 Munros absolutely ruined me to the point where I could barely climb the stairs to my hotel room afterwards. Fantastic even without the views.

Fish and chips in the Falls Of Dochart inn. There was a guy walking around with a parrot on his shoulder and the lights were flickering on and off for a bit

At this point I've bagged 30 Munros in approximately 3 months. Objective is to get to 40 before mid-December 2025. However, we're now approaching winter, so excursions will become few and far between, but bring on 2025 spring/summer! Onwards and upwards.
