That's a great trip in fine weather. I sometimes take peanut butter sannies up the hills but dont take the jar, way too heavy

Sounds like a remake of Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds, but with midges!

Well done on a super five - and what a difference to the summit scene a couple of weeks make on Easain.

I did B Na Lapp on a through walk from Glen Nevis to Laggan.... not enough energy to drag my sack up another 4 munros on the way!!
You and Mountainstar certainly lead on lightweight backpacking (terra nova tent?)

You do some pretty impressive wanders in the hills. I marvel at your ability to get all that gear in the bag at just 13kg. My bag seems to be around the 11kg mark, with no tent, extra food, or cooking equipment in. I always overpack and make it harder on myself.
Your brave going for a swim in the Loch of Death. Can imagine how cold that must have been. Brrr. Though I know how good it is to get the sweat off.
Great report ML, may have to look through your others.
