Epic stuff there Petr. Brilliant pics and videos of all, superb weather you got, even better with your brother visiting.

Next time your up that way be sure to visit Quinag, the scenery that isn't visible from the road is similar to An Teallach, and more special for the wildness of that area, my favourite :D

Forgot to add, that round of the Fannichs is a great but tough walk, the ground back from the bealach is especially heavy going. I made a point of doing them in winter but it didn't help as the snow was deep and the peat hags were full of it, up to my waist at points, so much it took 5 hours to walk the 5 miles from the bealach back to the car ! :D

Tough walk there, especially at the end, but going together with my brother, the time was going quickly as we were busy talking :) also the midges gave us the pace :lol: :lol:

made in Scotland wrote:What a fantastic 40th birthday present! You must have spent hours planning and organising it all. Your weather watching paid off as well - great photos and videos too. Hope your brother rises to the challenge and does something amazing for your 50th! :clap:

My 50th over since September and still nothing ! :lol: so I will probably arrange at least Dumyat, Ben Aan and Conic Hill myself :lol: :lol: :D :lol:
