Cheers litljortindan, views were nice.
Was a bit squelchy on the way down to the peat hags which were dry
Interestingly I've just done another walk where I was happy to get to the peat hags

I usually have typical early morning starts on the hills, but after seeing some of the dawn/sunset photographs on your reports I think I'll need to be checking my head-torch batteries and try a late start!
Thanks SecretSquirrel
The views were fabulous, and like you can't understand why there would be any negatives about them, both summits were interesting with panoramic views.
I doubt I will ever be an early starter until I get a tent and hang out up top, but the sunsets are worth the dark endings

I dont know what it is like from Glen Dochart, but some hills are just squelchy and should be enjoyed as such
I went on a crap day, broke a walking pole and didn't see any of the fine views you got
We did see the finest display of rutting in the bealach between the two though - truly memorable..
Cheers basscadet, it was nice, steep getting up to Sgiath Chuil, but I tend to be a bit asthmatic, for normal folk probably a breeze
I read your report
basscadet's, the stags must have made your day
Thanks Petr I think they would be great winter mountains, no dangerous drops anywhere and the views were superb.
As I say I doubt early starts will ever be me, but you never know, life is a moving target
