[gammy leg walker]

well done all - good to see you got there in the end and in such cracking conditions - cheers

Persistence pays off eventually

Been enjoying keeping tabs on this epic adventure over the last few days. Cracking stuff. Whets my appetite for when I finally get round to conquering the mighty Fisherfield!

Why are you waiting

I thought I would wait until I'm as auld as you Willie!

Great effort and well done on conquering the Fisherfields. I'm rather envious as would love to do them but can't find anyone daft enough to agree to come with me!

Why don't you break them down into 3 separately trips.

From the Fanniachs parking area past Braemore Junction and knock of Sgurr Ban

From Kinlochewe via the Heights of Kinlochewe to Fadha and get Tarssuin & Mullach

From Poolewe and get A"M & RSM

Some things are worth waiting for, and these are worth saving for a good day, even though I'm not a fair weather walker and your reputation is now in tatters
But great to see you complete these, when I return one day I'll be camping after the walk, as like you I walked out after the 5 and looking back, it would have been a better choice to stay the extra night.
Congratulations on a great WR, well chuffed for you

Thanks Dave, it's a special place.

Deb's had a prior engagement so we needed to get out

Hi Kathleen,
I'd be happy to go in again, I'm certainly daft enough. Xxx

That is such a generous offer from you both - especially when you've already done them!

Inspired by your suggestion I'm hoping to go in from Kinlochewe to tackle Beinn Tarsuinn and MCMF, with a pal (who's approaching compleation and needs this 5) and my grandson (brave lad). It's a long walk but with an early start and without heavy packs I think it's worth a shot anyway. Watch this space...

Kath it took us 3 and a half hrs with full packs to walk in via the Heights of Kinlochewe to Loch Fadha,from there a very good path climb's up to the bealach between Tarsuinn & MCMF....I'd tackle MCMF first tbh as it has some very mild scrambling then a boulder field, where as the climb to Tarsuinn is on grassy slopes.
On the way our with lighter packs we managed to walk out in 2 and a half hours
