Well done Gammy, two munros is nothing to sniff at, and you had a great night at the bothy, maybe too good ??? and i loved your report, you could feel the tension gripping as you waited for the mid night walkers to return

Oh dear GLW, it just looks like you are going to have to return to Fisherfield, what a terrible shame for you
Definitely my favourite place ever.

There is no great shame in only climbing the 2, this round is a tough outing. You got some great photos of what can only be described as a stunning area. A little tip for the next time you are there, drink more bevvy when you get to the bothy, it worked wonders for me, Jimmy & Mo when we did this round

[Alan S]

What an excellent report mate, I didnt see you taking as many pics
Was great to be part of this brilliant weekend but man do my feet hurt
Definetly no shame on turning back as this is one tough walk even to the 1st munro
Was glad that you and Jonny pushed on to the 2nd I wish we had all made it,hope you both enjoy your return
My extra energy certainly came from Jonny's Jura you should take Johnny Corbetts advice

over 19hrs........6 munros.....

You are doing me and Alice a huge injustice with that............... it was 18 hours 45 minutes

Great report my very good friend. Sums up the weekend well. One thing you missed the 500 midge bites

Thanks from me also for all the comments.

I'll add a couple of photos

[jonny616]

hope you both enjoy your return

Your turn to carry the beer next year

[jonny616]

Bothy life!

[quote="gammy leg walker"A fine crack was had by all made even better watching two German walkers wrestling with their stove for 2hrs trying to get the thing to work,so much for German engineering,Vorch Sprung Derch Technique is was not,in the end RR took pity on them and offered his jetboil[/quote]

Was that no so funny

Looks like it was a fun trip in the end despite the worries over Alice and Alan. And Wullie, 2 Munros when you're not tip-top is nothing to be sniffed at. And like a few have said, it gives you a fine excuse to take a trip back there.

I've never set foot in Fisherfield but it definitely looks like somewhere to be considered for the near future.

P.S. I'm glad you guys were feeding the midgies, over 4 days in Braemar/Glenshee i remain unblemished by the little buggers bites.

You would have made it around the 6 if you'd carried some of that fine east Tennessee beef jerky I tried to give you, but noooo, somebody has to be picky!

In truth though, this is a tough one and you should be proud of making the two summits that you did old friend. My guess is that Alan took so long mainly because he was getting his 'instructions' for much of the walk

You'll get these in the end mate, start planning your next walk somewhere while there is still daylight!

Great report Gammy, you're right to have no regrets mate. As you know I've turned back from a few myself and gone back to get em later...always the right decision I think. great effort anyway mate and cracking pics of a real scorcher

[PeteR]

A great reprt and pictures GLW Yeah, it's a shame you had to stop at two, but as others have said you'll just have to go back Well done for getting the two done though. Making the decision to turn back can be tough, but we know when it's the right one, so like you say - no regrets.

Looking across at Fisherfield when I was on An Teallach earlier this year and it's now a place I can't wait to visit And your pictures show why. It looks stunning.
