Pleased you cleared that up about the big cairn thing being on Dumyat. I 've done Vorlich twice and thought I'd missed something somewhere. Congrats on your first munro. It doesn't matter when you start in life. I only started doing munros three years ago and I've clocked up 55 (plus I've done some of them several times over) and I live in Devon. Now you've got the bug you won't be able to stop.

Good effort houdi - that`s a fair old trip up here before you get your boots on ! even more so from now with crazy fuel costs :(

:lol: LOL good point Chris , but hey - we live in Scotland only wrong clothes , not wrong weather.

2 dalamtions ,i`m thoroughly enjoying each hill experience i have- going up to Glencoe on Friday & somewhere else on Saturday , not decided where yet . But Oskar will be coming along as usual.

hi smirnie , a wee bit effort does give a huge personal sense of satisfaction :D , and again well done to ALL who don`t have the good fortune to live locally here in Scotland . Many of us i`m sure wouldn`t appreciate a slog up & down the M6 every time to bag a munro .
