Another great trip Rockhopper and as others have said, pity about the weather on Liathach but the weather you got for the other ones made up for it. You're at the stage now where you'll be telling folks how many you've got left , rather than how many you've done. :wink:

Fantastic report and pictures. As a noob it's almost beyond my comprehension that you could achieve so much in two days. What an inspiration. Thanks!

Talk about squeezing em in RH...that's a hell of a bag for a couple of days. Beautiful photos as always and such a variety of scenes/weathers too, must have been a really great couple of days. The clag on Liathach is a shame but it gives you a good excuse to go back :wink: ...great TR :clap:

That's what I used to think as well until I started looking at how best to join up hills and trips. To be honest, it sounds a lot but it isn't really - I tend to start very early and take it steadily as I'm not fast; I just like long days in the hills - cheers :)

Sounds possible but think I'd want to be certain of good weather :roll: :lol: - are you planning Liathach as your last two ?

WOW, is that Torridon or hillwalker's paradise?
Absolutely stunning :D
I hope to return to Beinn Alligin soon - I ticked off both Munros but didn't do the Horns, it was in my early days of climbing and I wasn't keen on scrambling then.

Fifty and fit as **** :) 8)

Brilliant 2 days walking with only Saturday morning being intrusive of great views, although you got plenty elsewhere.

Maybe you'll get a weather window to finish the round before new year but as you say there ain't no rush and I'm guessing you'll want a clear day.

Fantastic.

Cheers.

It'll be next year at the earliest - got to give you over 40s a chance to catch up :wink:
