Thanks Polly.
Re the two tops that got away;
-they did look quite pretty
-my ocd was messing with me
-I knew I'd get stick for it
However, the biggest factor was my mojo. Haha
I'm almost certain I'll repeat these hills, so I'll catch them then! Winter would be awesome! Maybe less sore on my feet too?
Are you making it out this weekend?

Meatball, what date did you do this walk? It says the 27th, but the times and weather don't look right.

Shame about Choinnich Mhor - it was a nice finish to the day when I managed this round last summer.

The forest walk out may seem interminable at times but is far more comfortable than the bog trot that you get lured into.

Sorry folks, I don't know what happened there...that should be it updated with date and times (26/06/12, 8hours, 20k, 1500m - in case I've done it wrong again).
The last one was going to give me no views that day and decided to retreat in the face of the Scottish summer! Haha

Excellent effort meatball and you have inspired me to possibly do this next week weather permitting* :thumbup:

*That'll probably be a no given the recent weather.
