Cracking photos and report - never been up Quinag yet but this certainly wets the appetite to get up and head North :)

What a stunning looking piece of mountain and a perfect day for it. October has certainly outperformed the so called "summer" months for good hill days! :crazy: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Cheers Petr - from reading some of your reports I think we tend to set our alarms for similar (silly) times on walking days.

Hi Graeme - it's been a good month so far, hopefully tomorrow could be good in the north west - just got to convince myself to set the alarm for 3am.................

Thanks Huff_n_Puff - they weren't on my list for years but I had noticed a couple of reports over the last few months and thought they would be well worth the journey time in the car (and they certainly were).

Cheers dogplodder - a good day is a must for these three, it would be a bit of a waste to do them in clag.
