Thanks Simon. Saturday was the toughest day by some way. I'll have nightmares about that ascent to Ben Macdui from the Lairig Ghru for years
As for the sheep, definitely. I got some jump when i turned round to see them all lined up staring at me just below the summit

I was struggling for motivation on the latter part of Saturday's walk, it was hard going, especially doing the last few miles in constant rain. Sunday was great though, a friend came up from England to join me and that really helped. The descent off the Ben never gets easier though
