- Very happy walkers, Jessica too in her first week ever of munro bagging :)
- Lunch time on the second highest spot in the UK.....and would you believe it I had left my lunch behind in the van!!! Huge thanks to Gammy for a cheese roll, Stretch for a mars bar and all the others for kind support and nibbles...Ritchie too missed out on his biscuits!

- Making our way over Stob Coire an t-Sneachda, just fancinating and amazing....

- We had descended Fiscail a' Choire Chais, and had 1/2 hour to fill whilst the others visited Cairngorm summit too. So what better than a chilled relaxing pint! :)
