I would never try and keep up with a younger fitter man :wink:

Be sometime before I complete but all the best with yours.

What hill do you have in mind for your last, and when?

What a wonderful report and great photos. That is just the kind of trip away I would like as it had a bit of everything, the scenery is stunning up there and you were very lucky with the weather.

What a fabulous report - took our breath away from start to finish. Even that first one of An Teallach - we've seen lots of pictures of it from that angle, but yours is amazing - somehow looks grander and more natural than others we've seen.

We've never yet made it to Gruinard Bay - started off cycling there when we were staying at Camasnagaul, but got distracted by Mungasdale beach/bay, and, being the end of the holiday and a warm sunny day, we never got any further!

Fairy Lochs is now really high on the list of places we want to go. Have read about if before but, again, your photos are something else!

Thanks for posting - we really enjoyed this and will read it again and again.

All the best,

Daniel and Clare (Torridon_snails)
