Well, that's totally put me to shame :shock:
I was up there about the same time, but just doing one a day and then relaxing in the afternoon. In fact, I was on Carn Ealasaid the same day as you, although I went up from the hotel to the south-east.

Nice, quiet part of the world up there, even with the slightly unnerving thunderstorm on Corryhabbie Hill on the Wednesday. Next time, though, I'll put more effort in and get at least two Corbetts done in a day; you've inspired me :D

Oooh, nice new photo collage :)

Sounds like a decent chap that farmer, and very polite of you to ask firstly. I was in the Lakes at the weekend and went through Skelgill Farm, thanks to signs being put up.

Cheers
