It can be great (sometimes) when a plan doesn’t come off :-)

I'm also guilty of spending far too much of my time planning for walks... :lol:


Cheers Sabbsthstevie. Monadh Mor from this direction is a pretty good walk in itself. I was just being greedy and adding on two more :D

Stunning stuff Pete! I'd say the wee point and click performed pretty well. My trusty Canon Ixus 500 has just died after providing most of the photos on my 5 years worth of trip reports on here, and I'm looking for a replacement. I've got a lot of research to do to find something that compares at a reasonable price. As for the planning - that's almost as much fun as the walk itself! :D

Great report Pete & you certainly had the weather, those are the sort of days we all dream about :wink:
300 foto's that's quite a few to wade through, luckily we are now in the digital age which is so much easier - those of us who remember camera's with films inside, then getting them developed only to find most of them are p**h :lol:

Cheers Graeme. You're right on the planning.....I just wish that once in a while I would do the work I'd spent all the time planning :lol:

Cameras are a mystery to me, which is why I stick with "point-and-click" :lol: I've looked up market a few times, but could never make a decision on what might be the best option :?

Just a perfect day Fife Flyer :lol:

If I was still in the 35mm cartridge age then I'm pretty sure I'd have stopped at 36 :lol: :lol:
