Hi

You are certainly getting out & about. I had Mhanach down for last weekend, but my feet weren't heeled enough. You route looks interesting. I was going to do the long plod in & out along the land rover track.

Great photo's

Regards

Jonny

I had planned to start at 7am and do Dorain and Dothaid then hook up with my group on Mhanach, before taking off again to do Chreachain, but the forecast the night before frightened me :shock:

I did Achaladair last Jan when it was -22 at the summit :? 8)

I'll have to pop up and do the DDs :D
