Fantastic :D You were soo lucky with weather, especially with clear sky... We went to Skye on Saturday and it was so hazy we couldn't see the Storr from the Cuillin ridge!

Lucky you with the weather. On both occasions I have been up Ben More it has been cloudy. Your photos have captured the wonderful seascapes I missed. :D

Good stuff. I too was looking at doing this without taking the car but came across the same problem as you with the buses. Any chance your mum and dad can return to Mull when i get around to doing this one? :wink:

Excellent mate 8) One of the best set of pics I have seen for this hill :D
I have always considered this to be my last munro ( if I ever get there ) but these pics may force an earlier visit

Cheers

Fab pics! I plan to do this hill in May when I go to Mull for a few days. Crossing my fingers I get a view like that! It'll probably be my first solo Munro - would you say it wasn't too bad from that point of view? I will of course be taking map/compass because I'm not a numpty. :D (Okay I am, but not for this!)
