Thanks and that was just a question of time...and running out of Munros in the west

Had my first ever wild camp up here last year and really enjoyed it - walked the 6 to the east, back to the car to get the overnight rucksack then headed west for the 8 similar to you. Instead though I camped on the Loch nan Eun shore whereas you took the direct SW route to Glas Tulaichean - if you're ever back
, the lochside is a nice place to camp. I'd fully agree with you on the An Socach ascent - steep and relentless especially with a heavy rucksack - cheers
Like gaffr...all I can say is wow! 6 and then 8? I know the camp spot you are talking about. Thought about that spot when I planned the route. Going back there...??? Mmmm not so sure about that...there are prettier areas

at least you`ve done it , you`ll feel more confident about planning more wild camps
I will feel a lot more confident by the time by body forgot the pain lol
I think to walk a long flat walk, dump the tent and then climb a few Munros is sooo much easier...although being able to camp wherever is great as well
