This was my first winter walk of the season ... knew it was going to be wet, and wore appropriate gear, but it was exceptionally wild and windy! Despite all the difficulties, I had a great day amongst friends .... companionship was key, especially towards the end of the day as we lost light and still had rivers to cross. Everyone kept focussed and spirits were high right to the end. Well done guys!

Oh yes....similar to SL's walk report, I do remember a lot of liquid caused you problems venturing onto Sgor na h-Ulaidh that Clachaig morning.....I mean afternoon :wink:

We're traditionalists.
Corbetts are for after you've compleated the Munros! :D

Morag, it was brutal weather, but the company was good and we all kept one another's spirits up and in a strange, perverse, boots still not dry 3 days later kind of way it was actually enjoyable!
