Johny said Brilliant report Andy. Think you're gonna have to carry a de-fib for Monty next time you're out with him, doesn't look like he's got much left in the tank :D


Well actually Johny I am getting into some serious training for the next meeting. Starting with at least two whiskys a day :lol:

Graeme said Yeah, I don't think the poor guy's gonna make it...... to 282 Munros I mean :? . Or is it 283? How many you got left Monty???? 283 minus.... now how does it work again???!!!! :shock:


The munros are easy Graeme but not sure how I am going to tackle the altzheimers though? How many munros was it? how many left? Where am I ? :D

Polly said Monty sure did make a very strong impression on me. What a gent! Sorry to say the six river crossings later that day proved even more knicker wetting!!


You can buy special dry pants nowadays Polly :lol:

Kevsbald said Poor Monty? Poor Monty nothing, he's on 191 Munros and has left me for dust...not that I'm racing him.


Hey Kev you missed a good meet not that I am rubbing it in of course but you missed a good chance to bag some munros in your favorite conditions :lol:

During the walk both my phones got soaked and stopped working. It seems my Aquapack has sprung a leak after 2 years of use. Not bad for £20. Therefore I have no gps track and only a few photos so here they are.

Stunning photies. Well done to all walking in that weather.

Always take spare pants, or else be forever wet grasshopper.

Take care all. :)

Great report. Thinking of going to Glen Shiel later this week with my next door neighbour to catch a few hills (not sure which side or combo yet). Lot will depend on weather conditions but I know we will not be looking to be as ambitious as you guys were!
