Hi Alteknacker

That was me plus son and friend and dogs that you met, was indeed a nice interlude and you were the first person we met that day as well although we immediately bumped into another couple, from Manchester area.
For those other readers out there, Alteknacker has his own version of Naismiths Law - I think there may be some minimum thresholds for him as well in terms of km and m altitude. Great stuff, excellent photos - and just to confirm that where we dropped off down off Beinn Achalladair is absolutely fine, takes a few km off the WH route.

Best of luck
David

Yep, it was really good to chew the fat, and I hope we bump into each other again on the hills :-) (NB I thought the friend was actually your daughter!).

Thanks for the kind words. I also saw your report earlier, but couldn't access your pics - I think you'd uploaded the wrong link ...???
