Cheers pigeon. Despite my toils the Corbetts done on these two walks have been great. Definitely an area for drier conditions though. I'm thinking I'll return some time in 2014 to pick off Sgur Mor too :D

Nice report and character building to say the least.

Well done.


Cheers dooterbang. Gairich's a great hill and a good walk from Quoich.

Grand pics and good read

Think I would have chanced a run up Sgurr Mor you were that close :D

You just want the excuse to return don't ya haha


:lol: :lol: cheers Colla. If I'd had a good path to return by then I might well have chanced it myself, but that ground was not something I wanted to be slopping around in in failing light :shock:

........and all being well I'll need a hill to compleat on some day :wink:

Cheers HOTH. Thankfully I didn't stumble on any duelling stags :shock: The noise is certainly impressive though
