5 drunken monkeys on Beinn Bhreac Liath

[Graeme D]

And there I was going to bed last night jealous at the prospect of you being out on the hills for Christmas Eve Kev!

[scoob999]

Well done guys, and i thought i was the only nutter out today! although i might have made it the highest today?
900 metres on Meall Ghaordaidh today. on my hands and knees, crampons dug in and ice axe dug in holding on for dear life
i thought, i should've just went shopping.
The next time the MWIS says its gonna be windy, i'm staying in bed

Thanks for writing this one up - we enjoyed your descriptions of the conditions! Sometimes it's nice to be in a cosy warm room somewhere...

Happy Christmas!

Well worth the try !! I dumped all my plans as well when I checked the weather forecast ...but at least you managed a couple of hours...I only did a 45min rainly hillrun up my local hills
Merry Christmas!!

Well done on trying,sounded a bit wild to say the least.Ditched our planned xmas party on ben vorlich and sat in the pub instead

Great report Kev and well padded out and the action shot says it all really.Good to meet you guys and look forward to the next one.I did joke with Gavin that the day would kill or cure me since i have been unwell for a few weeks.Well yesterday we had an early morning visit to the house by the ambulance for me! I was quite unwell and they gave me the full mot and i live to fight another day.Appears my blood sugar high and i may have damaged a ligament in my back so a trip to docs on the cards.Managed xmas lunch and a wee walk with the dog this morning down the track so should be ready soon for the next WH meet

Jeezo, sorry to hear that Dave. I was a bit worried about you when you said you'd had flu. The body takes a bit of time to recover from these things but glad you were out and about yesterday. See you in 2012!

[mountain thyme]

At least you tried! I thought about walking on christmas eve but changed my mind when i seen the weather forecast...

[Fudgie]

Looks like my dodgy knee did me a favour

[Johnny Corbett]

Good effort in getting out there guys in those conditions. Luckily you don't work for Dr No where failure is not tolerated and you would have all been fed to the sharks
