Nice report Quoman. Going up this one at the weekend. Do you think it will be too steep for Zippy our Bassett hound?

Good day for it and you do get some lovely views especially with the snow caps against brown heather. This was my 50th - brings back memories - cheers :D

Couldn't agree more with you about just getting out on the hills, that's what it's all about. Done this one a couple of months ago in similar conditions and it was a good day out. Some nice pics there too :D
