Hey Pauline, was thinking about you yesterday when climbing Slioch and realising I was missing you on the forum.... But then I found you lurking here and see you've been busy climbing hills all summer! :thumbup:

Your pics are great with stunning weather - in the Mamores too - where better? :D

Missed that as I was off line for a while doing granny duties - 3 new grandsons in quick succession! :D
Looks like you've had some great weather days with possible exception of Lochnagar when you got properly drookit! :lol:
