MW, XS and Chris - cheers; still enjoyable despite GLW's clag !

Alastair - tend to agree - I've tried various methods and always seem to get different results from the gps, WHgps and other sites - can't seem to find the right answer but it's usually there or thereabouts, eg if it's within 300m say, then it's within about 1/2hr of walking time which is accurate enough I guess

Gammy 'Clag' Walker strikes again. Meanwhile, the entire west coast of Scotland was enjoying bright sunshine :lol:

Nice one Rockhopper, shame about the weather though still you got round in good time the weather was pretty much the same for me when I was up there but cleared on the way out which made it a good end to the day.

And the morale of the story is if you spot Gammy while en route to the hills, drop a cog and put your foot to the boards. :lol:

Looking to do this round on Saturday with Kim, i see adding Conachcraig adds 200m onto to walk, how much extra time did you thing it added onto the walk? I've still to convince her to add the Corbett on and i'm guessing a extra 30mins.
