Walkhighlands

well done iain.. know the feeling of the sore legs / feet.. and trying to think of something to take your mind off of the feeling of pain

Your turning into a dooterbang cyborg at this rate Ian top marks for a good walk.

Good effort Iain and thanks for posting the info on the river crossing to Mhanach

great effort and good luck on friday, you will be glad that most of the snow had melted for i dont no if that would be do able in last weeks conditions, well done

Might use this same route in 2012 and bike up the landrover track.

knowing how long this is i maybe wouldnt do it in deep snow,i was fortunate with the conditions.the track would be good for the bike apart from the river crossings and it gets fairly steep near the end

Aye thought that too Kev..........16.8km max speed moving

Great report again Iain,fair racking up the M points,makes my year end stats pretty feeble.

i was fairly quick on the soft,boggy ground on descents,i tend to break in to a run at some points.it seemed very quick when i saw it too
have been on a push recently to get to my target,it'll slow down a lot next year


The route is a good one(cheers monty) but rockhoppers route in and out from the farm is shorter and may/may not be quicker in these conditions and it may also give better views of Achaladair and a'Chreachain plus you dont have to ford a river 9 times,

cheers for all the replies

i reckon it would be a brilliant walk over the five with a high camp,plenty of places to chose from

i was even singing for a while(not a pretty sound,lol) to divert away from the feeling in my legs and feet
