No wizards - but what an eyesore in Glen Finnan

Another really top notch report Kathleen (still don't know how I guessed your name!)

Eyesore aside, your photographs are beautiful

Fantastic reporet and pictures of great hills but I reckon you were right to limit your day to just the one. I enjoyed these two when I did them last November, although the ridge between the two took a lot out me (more than I expected). Started the day in full sun, then had snow and eventually wind and rain Still loved it though

Well if the ridge between took a lot out of you who did that epic on SGS ridge we would have been hospitalised by it, no question!

I love seeing your dogs in your reports, they always look so happy on the hills

Thanks Morag, I will tell the mutts you like them.

Thanks Peter and Liathach (and agree about proliferation of wind turbines)

Nice report of a lovely spot.The hounds look like they had a great time, and if your friend's ankle doesn't improve, I can always do a quick below-knee amputation.

Thanks Caberfeidh, I will pass on your kind offer to Moira!

The plan is that the works are due to finish by the turn of the year, lets hope they restore the environment as best they can, i suspect that apart from the dam the area will be restored pretty well and we see these small dams in most glens these days.

It's amazing how quickly nature recovers after this kind of thing.

Fine hills indeed these. As for the old straight up ascent of Streap, Kev and I were less impressed by it - at least at the time of doing it. Sheer brutality..... but damn good fun now I look back on it!

What was most impressive is that I think I'm right in saying you'd promised your wife you'd be back by late afternoon and still agreed to do it? I hope she got her just compensation for you being late!

Thanks Pauline. You clearly possess the gift of extrasensory perception whereas with me it's just that I'm nosey enough to read other folks' posts!
