Ah see, your just as mental/motivated as us lotspiderwebb wrote:Dooters, fantastic effort. I guess it helps being with such a large group but can't help thinking this is beyond me ! Then again my solo epic last March was probably similar when I think about it with 5 miles to walk out in the dark in near white out from midday with two self arrest slips thrown in for good measure. Wife didn't think it was so funny at the time though !

oh im sure you've been out under the influence of a dram or 6!!nathan79 wrote:A beast of a winter trek.
WIth a hangover and poor sleep. Rather you than me!
That sounds like an epic trip...and right up my street. The 7 munros could be bashed in 1 long day in summer but we kept these bunch especially for winter. I think next spring/summer will throw up ubertastic epics from a few WH membersrockhopper wrote:Definitely off your collective rockers - maybe if you stopped fooling around you might get back in time for your dinner![]()

But seriously, epic trip doots and great sunset photos towards the endBack in May I had worked out a route to cover the 7 munros, plus The Sow and the Graham, Creag Ruadh, in one big 2 day loop with an overnight camp on a dry, hot, sunny end of May holiday weekend -didn't quite work out that way
- much prefer your weather even though not good all the time
Magical indeed, not the usual Saturday evening.DavyB wrote: Star gazing was a nice end to a fun night.

Well done on bagging both summits, in what was crap conditions.BlackPanther wrote:Hi Dooterbang! It was nice to have met you too. I wondered whether you managed to do Meal Chuaich - hats off to you and your group, in such conditions. First class mountain pornGlad you got down safely
So did we!
We managed to reach both Munro summits (working with map, compass and gps), we looked like snowmen - so Black Panther turned into a Snow Leopard for a short timeIt was really hellish up there and on the way to the second Munro the wind stole our map!!! Kevin tried to chase it, no chance, he moved too slow in the snow. Luckily we still had a picture of the map on the camera and could take grid refs from gps so we found the top cairn. From there we decided to go due west and instead of looking for the quarry track we went down a snowy gully. It was mostly good going, a few funny moments with snow up to our bums

We were back down just about when the sun was setting.
I'll post my report soon just as I find some time to sort pics - I've got Christmas madness going on now at home at full speed. Crazy time!
Here's one more proof that condition up there were just as described:snow leopard.jpg
