After having turned back from this one a couple of weeks ago because of poor weather/winter climbing skills, I was determined to come back as soon as I could to climb this hill. Anyway checked MWIS on Wednesday - 90%+ clear skies! Booked a day off from work and packed my rucksack.

Really just posting this to keep my diary up to date and load some pictures. MWIS wasnt wrong today - the weather was perfect and the views were breath taking. Only met one other person all day (she was climbing up as I came down), so Ruby and I pretty much had the hill to ourselves.



Happy and tired tonight!!!!

Stunning views from this hill. I don't think a scarf on every Munro will help the Hibs this season :lol:

Well done on going back to it. It's a satisfying feeling doing a hill at the second time of asking and you certainly got good weather for it.
