Great report ML and the photos are eye catching too! :D My compliments on the quality of the photos in the slideshow and the presentation itself. The photos in the slideshow showing the changing weather during your walk and the snow on the peaks . . . very impressive.

Great report, and pics. The sky and hilltops look very dramatic in some of them. Still 1 photo stood out above the rest for me :lol:

Probably being easily old enough to be your father, I think this is shocking behaviour - no way I'd allow a daughter of mine to cavort in the hills :lol: :lol: :wink: But seriously....very enjoyable as usual and I'm sure many of us are prone to stripping off, even if only to cross the odd river or two :lol: cheers :D

Well.......I did not know we were permitted to post glamour shots on here. I'm looking out my speedos, best specs, pipe and the old polaroid now. Be prepared to be dazzled over the next few days.

That aside, nice report.

RicKamila might as well cancel next months photo competition and announce winner now.

Oh I say indeed..... these 2 summits have been on my mind for quite a while, and if the scenery is as good as this I'd better schedule in a trip quite soon...... :D

Seriously, I have mentioned these very do-able peaks with a possible overnight camp since reading a report recently but I can't remember who it was that posted the initial report that aroused my intention....

And yes, I agree. Trip report and photo of the month, for April / May / June / July etc etc.....

I think it's only fair that next time you get a photo of Marco in his speedos for the ladies on the site. Who knows some of the guys might enjoy that as well :D

How do the rest of us compete with that. I guess my next video will need to feature a naked - Billy Connolly style skip into the sunset!

@ Musicfinder...thanks regarding the slideshow...it is still my preferred way to show photos...makes it a bit more entertaining

@ dogplodder...regarding your question...it was actually really warm when that picture was taken, so quite a few minutes ;-) But thought to getter get dressed before I would confuse any other hillwalkers :lol: :lol:

@ Collaciotach...its the way to go 8)

@ andyfitz ... please dazzle us!!! 8) 8) 8)

@ rockhopper...I am guessing that men are the worst offenders for stripping off their gear at the end of the walk-specially next to busy roads...saw some full moons in places I never expected them 8) :lol:

@ weescotsman...yes I read that report as well when I researched the mountains...it was someone who did all 4 of them...including Creise and the other one I think

@Johnny Corbett ...Speedos now there is a scary thought :shock: :shock:

@ gsaboy... since reading your reply I have images of a butt naked Billy dancing around summit cairns (as Billy Connelly did in his 'Worldtour of Scotland' tours in Orkney) :lol: :lol: :lol:
If you want to do that I am expecting a youtube video by the way 8)
