I agree, Polly looks better than I do. But she failed to snap any photos of you falling over in the snow, which you had to have done several times big man!

Nice to see you guys getting out together, keep it up!

Great report Gammy, well done to all and nice idea to try the Moulin Inn. Haven't been in there for years. Laughing at the idea of preparing for the Kintail quiz......:)

I'm probably in the Munroist minority in liking these hills. Having done the "usual" route, I look forward to revisiting them by another. Looks like you all had a great day :D .

[quote="pigeon"]You must have been on the A9 about the same time as us Gammy,driving in those conditions worries me more than the walking.
