An Teallach is one high on our agenda, is it ok ? I'm only a wee bit envious :mrgreen: :lol: we were hoping to do that this year but we'll have to wait now, ah well, next year maybe, but your vid certainly stirred the blood.
Great videos and great choice for the sound tracks.
Stay safe.

Hi Martin, thanks for your words. Glad you like the videos and the music there :D I wanted express our feelings in the particular mountain by the right music :wink:
We had great time together with my Brother and I'm really grateful for all the views...watching the forecast and plannig the routes was rewarded, sometime we saw the border between rain in the distance and our dry area :roll: :D 8) We were really lucky with the weather condition.
You will love An Teallach and it will be ok for you as you have done also the great Liathach :clap: The two Munros are good enough with fantastic views around, then you can decide if will continue all the circle by the ridge / pinnacles or return back the same way.
I wish you have the same good condition and clear views there. Have a great time over the winter and looking forward to see you back in the mountains soon...

Great stuff as usual, Petr :clap: :clap: :clap: And the weather gods were benign, which is always a relief.

I still have all these to do, with the Fainnaichs and An Teallach high on the list - so this made interesting reading for more that one reason.

And all doubly good by virtue of having your brother with you: if I'm not alone, I also go with my brother. A fine thing.

Thank you :) You can do the Fannichs easily all 7 together in one route, short connection from Sgurr Mor :wink:
We started late - around 12:00 and wanted finish in daylight to get some accomodation because of the oncoming rain forecast for the night...
