Fantastic report MW, as always :D Sounds like you had a great time, and some cracking photos.

Not sure about these chimneys myself, think I'll be avoiding them for quite a while :lol:

Many thanks Anasta... Please don't avoid chimneys on my account, If I can do them, anyone can.

I've heard lots of people say do this Munro last, it really is a super hill. Sorry I missed the walk with you guys but I do need more experience of srcambling as I'm worried about keeping every one back. I'm hooked on the scrambling though. Been boring every one rigid with last weekend's walk, they run and hide in patient's rooms when they see me coming :lol: :lol:

Great report MW, its reports like yours that give so much inspiration and off course ideas of where to go, so much better than some crusty old guide book. That really looked like a great couple of days. Are you sold on bunkhouses now, I stayed in the Bridge of Orchy bunkhouse and the garden sheds at Macdonald Hotel Kinlochleven and thought the whole thing was great, can't beat a couple of beers and a bite to eat with people you meet on your days out.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks MM. Loved it at the bunkhouse, relaxed and informal and had a great laugh. The rules at the pool table were very funny :D :lol:

Wow, such a gorgeous place to work in, you're so lucky. If it wasn't for my love of Braemar, Id move to this area.
