Very smug at my time to reach the top, only for the clag to lift long enough to unveil the final push to the actual summit :lol: I was all on my own so could hide my blushes :lol: :lol:

I still have Beinn Dearg to do, and was planning on tacking on the Corbett too when I do it, so might wait until spring perhaps. Always good to read reports from others on the hills to see what I might be up against. This one looks like a good walk, rather than a technical challenge. It's always good to have a few of those types of hills up your sleeve I find :D


Cheers Pete.

Absolutely no feeling of ascent at all :thumbup: Even the last bit going up to the correct summit was hardly anything more than a slight hill. I would like to think that we would have discovered our error when we checked the map on the GPS for the descent :D

Hope you had a wee giggle at your summit mistake :lol:
