A lovely morning on Sunday and the wife wants to stay at home and watch the jubilee celebrations :roll: ... Not for me thank you very much, quick phone call to my polish friend and 3 hours later we are at the slioch car park.

Great weather you had for this one David, nice photos.
Visited Torridon area last year and do like the look of this hill, can't wait to tick it off. :)

Nice report. Love the fisheye shot, I do like fisheyes :D I'm off to Torridon tomorrow (I came up here to to escape the Jubilee too :D ) so I think I'll add this one to the list. Don't tell my legs :D
