Well its has been a while since my last trip report, probably about 16/18 months.
Due to various reasons we just seemed to loose all motivation. Something had to give and unfortunately for us it was the weekends away and the overnight camps.
Hopefully, we are now ready to resume where we left off ohh so long ago. I really hope that we can get back in the groove once again, and put together some serious trips in the near future.
Where better to start than The Isle Of Skye and a BLITZ on the Red Cuillin.
What a great few days we had, was a pretty tough route for us but considering we have not been out for nearly 18 months i will have to consider this a triumph.

Good to have you back at last
. Looking forward to more crazy routes. Great hills these, Marsco in particular. Well done on finding somewhere flat enough to camp on it.

Good to see that you are all back in the groove again! with old Wilson in his summer coat
You were within a stone's throw of that very fine wee....not on any lists....brilliant wee peak of Clach Glas. Not for Wilson and co. though.
Look forward to more of your posted wanderings.

Like others on here I've been missing your wonderful reports...and this is another belter
I do hope yous get your mojo back, even if it means shorter low level trips...just good to be out.
Wilson must be happy
Cheers.

I can sympathise with the loss of motivation, as I had that myself a few years back. But as others have said, it's great to see you all back
Not a bad place to start either
