Good effort pigeon and some great pictures :D This whole area id jam packed with great hills and great walks :D Looks like you're having a good run of it lately with the weather and the good walking. And good to see the stove is fixed, even if the soup was rubbish :(

I think the Mamores are amongst my favourite hills so far :D I've loved every trip I've had up there and seeing them with snow on has me thinking they'll be revisited next winter :D

I was a little further north than you yesterday and was surprised at how good the weather was, given the forecast for the northwest highlands :D Even had a similar snow shower to you, but that's all part of the fun :D

snodland wrote:Top report - and an area I go to each year. But I have to share your opinion about the soup. Baxters is the best you can get right enough but my mum (rightly) sent a complaint when they stopped making a wonderful "Cream of Country Vegetable" and they never even replied let alone send her a caseful of the stuff in compensation!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Aye very dissapointed,hopefully back to the homemade gear next time :lol:
