@ quinners161... I can only recommend them...its a nice day out but give yourself 8h to complete them

@ Fudgie ...You could always return at some point

@ Graeme D...it was actually some left overs I brought from home...the camp spot I can only recommend!!

@ dogplodder ...the midges would have a feast on you in summer time...

@ PeteR ...yes I was lucky with the weather...hopefully I will have a few days like that again

@ pigeon ...I have seen snow pictures of it...you must have had an amazing time...how were the slabs in the snow??

@ soapy27... many thanks!!!

@ Alan S ...lol that would be an idea for dinner

@ monty...I try my best...dont want to scare people to death

@ Bod... many thanks and I agree

@ rockhopper...Yes try to get back if you can...the views are pretty special up there.

@ malky_c... looking outside I guess today would be a lovely day...if one would not have to work

@ 147cjl...Thank you...nice new profile picture by the way

@ pollyh33...Lol you cant beat a car...although I always end up taking far too much

@ tomyboy73... I have visited St Conans on 2 different occasions...it is amazing! I love the story as well...
It was build by a man for his mother who could not make the long way to church. If you can, stop there next time you drive past and have a look inside...it is worth it!

Nice one ML, some stunning photos there, looks like a fab walk. I've tried to do it twice and both times I turned back as the weather was mental. A nice wee reminder that I've still to go back and do the full horseshoe. Looks a cracker

[kevsbald]

Outstanding - did you sink the whole bouteille?

Cracking photos especially the Dam ML.

I had to convince him (quite a few times) that the route would be sooo much easier than other routes I had taken before and that he would be fine. Not very convinced he agreed and we moved up the hill.

I had a good laugh when I read this expecting some hairy stuff but you were actually quite gentle with your pal

@Monty - first time I've had the "thigh burn" in a loooooong time! wasn't as steep as first expected though and ML failed to add in I was first to the top

Many thanks...having to turn twice is tough...hopefully next time you will manage it!!!

Lol I was a good girl..only had 2 glasses...but it was well gone by Saturday evening...in company of a few pints

Great report, love those early morning shots. As for fishermen. Well, I am guilty of getting up at 5am to go fishing on my boat and I only live 300 yards from the lake

[Stuart Angus]

Brrrrrr, I'm cold now just looking at these early morning pictures ...............worth it though, they're excellent

5am but to live 300 yards away from a lake...how lovely!!! Well at least you can go to bed straight after if you wanted!!

Brrrrrr, I'm cold now just looking at these early morning pictures ...............worth it though, they're excellent

The cold fingers and toes in the morning are easily forgotten...ehm a week after you have been back
But many thanks!!

Oh, that was camping in style - popcorn with the movie as well?

Superb misty morning shots - it's what makes those early morning starts worthwhile.
