That looks like a great outing, GLW. A good team like that must make that wild place feel not so remote.

A brilliant report Gammy (and other contributors) featuring by far some of the most disturbing photos I have ever seen on walkhighlands! :lol:

Not much I can add to what has already been said by others. I had a great weekend in great company nearly drank as many different whiskies as i climbed hills 8)

Fantastic report. it's just a shame Ceasar must have been in the area to clag it up :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And as for the snoring i never heard me :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Excellent report gammy and a great effort doing all four :D

Although that first photo was a tad disturbing :lol:

These four make a good round though :D It was a tad warmer the day I did them last year, leaving me very burnt and de-hydrated by the end of it :shock:
