Brilliant stuff Alan! :D :D :D :D Thanks a million for that. I'll fall asleep with some fond memories tonight! :lol:

And yes - I'll get a TR on here later in the week with pics to prove that the sun did eventually come out for the survivors. 8)

Me too :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Another cracking vid from the infamous WH movie maker :thumbup:

Wish I could have been there to join you all......in the bar! Looks a wild day to complete the ridge (was hard enough when I did it in dry conditions!)- good effort from those that battled on when the Cluanie Inn was calling strong!

Love the video, I'll certainly look back at the meet-up videos a lot when I'm stateside.


Stretch,

I watched the video again this morning and I'm noticed that when you had that tiny stumble, the only person who even attempts to reach out to catch you is me! Shame on the rest of them!!! :shock:

Is that what you were doing? I just thought you were laughing at him! :lol:

Just watched it again too. Brilliant footage and musical accompaniment. Loved the bit when it pans back down to Bod way back down the hill, clearly feeling the effects of that mysterious virus! :lol:

And great to again see Thomas just ahead of me as he checks in to Munro number 100. :D

The fact that according to the intro the walk took place on 10 October adds extra drama to the weather, ey? :lol:
Looks like a great day out!

Completing the South Clunie Ridge in these conditions was a good effort and a good level of fitness so good on the three who did it. The others showed good hill sense in knowing their limitations.

Wasn't too difficult a walk but because of the weather we had lots of layers of clothing on! Oh and my hat kept falling over my eyes- :lol:
