Well done to Arash on his first Munros, no wonder he was tired doing that after driving all night, hope you didn't put him off :lol:

Where's the dogs then :(


I decided not to take them because they don't cope very well in the heat. Missed them though! :(

My day on these two was in clag and bitterly cold winds. Seeing your photos tells me why I really should return :D


It's a long way for you but maybe worth coming back again once you've compleated! :D

Reversed this the next time :-) First time I did it, I was scrambling across the ridge above Dubh Loch Mor and heard a dull rumbling. A second or two later a Jet flew past, close enough to see the pilot :shock: Much fist-shaking ensued:lol:

Not so many smiling faces from League of Nations on our steep, pathless, midge-ridden ascent of Na Gruagaichean this week! :? :lol:
