Congratulations on the 200 :clap: , although I see you are already well past that marker now :D You certainly had a great day for it :D

Did these in two separate trips. The two on their own was a nice sunny winters day and the three in a row was as wet and misty as any day I've had on the hills, so saw sweet fanny adams most of the day :lol: . So its great to see some of the views I didn't when I was there. SnCG looks a superb hill. I think I will have to return one day :D

Cheers Tomsie,you should manage this route in about 9 or 10 hours quite comfortably,we spent a lot of time loafing about,layers and crampons on and off a lot plus an few kms at the end all added up for us.A great set off hills though you'll love it :thumbup:

Well done on reaching 200. That must have been one long day but I'm sure it was worth it. I did the first 3 munros 2 Saturdays ago under similar conditions giving my new crampons a good work out. It was a very pleasurable day.
