Just to say thanks Bod and Val for organising this WH meet and also for organising the weather and the opportunity to
do the 5 sisters. It will in my memory for a long, long time and your report does it justice....also to richie - the coolest dug on the hills! :D

Great report and glad you got such good weather for the weekend - before winter returned to the Highlands!

Having a largish yellow lab of my own I'm impressed you carried Ritchie down that rocky step on the Spanish hill. I didn't take my two as I wasn't sure of the terrain and I'm not sure what I'd have done at that point but carrying Jack would not have been an option as I needed both hands for getting myself down! :lol:

Another brilliant TR from Kintail, I'm growing greener with every report I read :mrgreen: Some cracking pics there too Bod. Looks like a cracking time was had by all, and nice to see a bit of white return even if it will be short lived :)
