Thanks again, everybody

Brillian report BP.
Brilliant set of pics serving as a great reminder for me.
Disappointed there's not one of you stood here

It was a wee bit windy when we walked past this exposed bit so I didn't want to risk being blown over. The rocks are still there

I agree that there are so many non-Munros well worth doing. Suilven, being a mere Graham, gave me more shivers than all the Drumochter Pass hills put together

Spent many a holiday in the '70s in Drumbeg, Nedd and Stoer and really must get back up there after seeing this - cheers
Dear Lord, I spent my 70's holidays in nappies... then in kindergarten
On a serious note, you reminded me about the coastal fantastic walk to the Old Man of Stoer... I have to post my TR on that... Did it in 2008, I think... It was so windy I struggled to stay upright, but the views are amazing. As anywhere in Assynt.

When I climbed Ben More and Conival, my camera seemed magnetically attracted to Quinag and Loch Assynt. It's obvious that those sub-900 metre peaks around there punch well above their weight.
And I can see what you mean when you say Assynt's like another planet. What a wonderful place!
I had a similar experience when doing Assynt Munros last April. Weather was brilliant and we could see Quinag's best profile:

Especially from above... I found an interesting shot in my album. Looking down from the summit of Canisp:

Has your mountain mad husband compleated them all?
Not yet, but he is on his way, on 124 at the moment and counting... The point with Kev is, he keeps re-doing his favourite hills. Beinn Eighe - 7 times, Beinn Alligin - 5 times I think, the convenient one, Ben Wyvis, about 10 times... He comes from a hill-walking family so he will follow his parents footsteps and complete the Munros... At some point. Even if it takes him 30 years or more, doesn't matter
