Wow, fantastic day out and the weather is awful further north!

Amazing to me that you did 2 Munros with less than 900m ascent - you must have started off quite high up?

Thanks. Just started from the normal starting point for these hills. It is a good half-day walk

Looks pretty good down that way . Hope it holds for tomorrow (supposed to anyway) while I nip up a couple of not so featureless Corbetts down that way .

What a great looking walk.
Nice photos, winter is definitely on it's way.

I was in Glen Coe yesterday too; I saw the Paraffin Budgie (helicopter) fly down the glen and saw a lot of RAF mountain rescue team vehicles. I reckon they were just practising (they have to practice a lot to keep up flying time/ experience). I later saw the helicopter parked outside the Kingshouse Hotel ~ another fine establishment for food and fluids! I have not heard anything on the news regarding a rescue so it was probably just an exercise.

Breathtaking photos, especially that first one.

Helicopter pilots have to keep up a specific number of hours per month, and I understand that to fly rescue you have to actually fly some kind of specific rescue patterns in those monthly hours, so that's probably what you saw.

Was staying in Glencoe Mon - Fri last week and it rained continuously with a few hours of no rain on the Friday. From your photos looks like our timing for being there was all wrong - the downside of prebooking accommodation.
