Well one thing I do know, you will certainly remember your 50th Munro, and for all the right reasons. I don't think anything could have been bettered could it, just a wonderful experience and something extra special. Congratulations on hitting the half ton by the way. Great report on a fabulous day, just hope there will be similar days at The Gairloch meet, look forward to meeting you then, not long to go, yessssssssssssssss

Thank you! Yes, will never forget that day. I feel it may have spoiled every other hill day for me because it will be impossible to have better weather :lol: good job the views aren't the only reason we do this :lol:

Dead excited about the meet :thumbup: :D

At last I managed to sort the problem I had viewing the pics (security settings)....

Boy, what a day!!! (as were the previous 2, when I was out on the hills). Fantastic pics of what looks like a brilliant ridge.

One to remember, I'm sure!

Fabulous couple of mountains, great photos and report :clap:

Did these two last week on a fabulous inversion day. Made the mistake in the Glen because of the dense cloud lying in the Glen of not finding the start of the path and ascending the ridge of Sail Dhubh and onto Stob Nan Clach instead which has an easy connecting ridge to Creag Mhor. Thankfully the steep snow on Sail Dhubh was soft otherwise it would have been very interesting.
