Me MT and Davie

A quick visit to the Smoo Caves and a plunder of the dishonesty box for a huge bag of chocolate fudge :clap: :clap:

After fighting through horrible clegs, midges and smirmy rain we eventually met Parminder on his way down. He warned us of slippery rocks on the ridge ( ah just like Skye in miniture-fab!)

Had minor panic on teeny tiny dodgy bit but MT told me to MTFU and get to the summit. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Fabulous views were our reward and Foinaven was especially amazing :D :D
