Lovely report and photos. I do think that hill walking is great therapy for most things and it sounds as if you have many special memories of being with your father in the hills. I am so sorry that he won't see your Corbett compleation but he will be there in your thoughts. I was really lucky in that my father was able to come up to the Nevis Range ski centre (brought by my sister and brother) in his wheelchair and see me appearing out of the clag as I descended my last Munro, Aonach Mor. He died 3 days later, probably from a DVT, probably due to the car journey home but my family all feel that he went out really happy to see me, the rebel child who hated hill walking as a child, be the first ( and still the only) family member to Compleat.
Looking forward to reading more of your return to the hills.
