Spent the night camping in Glen Etive next to the river, beautiful night, slight breeze (so no midgets) BONUS! Woke up early and got breakie out of the way, then hit the hill at 8am.
Great day, very good path which was good for the wee guy! Made good time and we where the first on the hill so lead the way for hours, until the little legs got tired, well that is my excuse. Ha,ha.
Thats Munro number 3 dad!
Make that number 4 dad!
The walk out was quite slow to start with, met some good guys though who decended with us, cheers guys!
The snow just finished his day, he loved every minute, again! Wants to go out again this weekend, so fingers crossed!

Great effort on two good hills
Just wish I could get my two inspired to get out in the hills. If there was a football pitch on the summit my eldest would run up them I'm sure
These two hills were the one and only time my eldest step son came out with me (aged in his early 20s at the time). Never been out with me since - something about his knee still hurting
So well done to your lad for a great effort
