Ring of Steall, Stob Ban and Mullach nan Coirean

Four friends of mine are currently doing the "Three Peaks with a Twist" - cycling between the three.
Due to several reasons (non cyclists, work) we couldn't join them but we did offer to hire a van and take their bikes up on Friday night so they could get the train up to Fort William. We met up on the Ben Nevis North Face Car Park on Friday night ready for them to get an early start Saturday.
After much faffing about the lads got on their way in the morning and we drove round to Glen Nevis, chained their bikes up so they could descend via the tourist track (after heading up the CMD arete) and embarked on our own walk.
Setting off only at 9am, and having to pick up another lad (a non cyclist who just wanted to climb the Ben) afterwards we were pushed for time slightly but I thought we could do the Ring of Steall and maybe add the two Western most Mamores.
In the lead up to the event the forecast had got better and better and come the day itself it was obvious we were in for an outstanding day on the hills.
