Good Morning & Happy Friday Walk Highlanders
I plan on climbing the Loch Lochy Munros tomorrow. Some may call me nosey, others may call me curious, but, are you climbing this weekend? If so, where are you planning to climb? How/Why did you choose there?
I'm interested to query how you guys plan your trips in advance?
My current method of "planning" is a simple one. I look at the interactive map on here, look at some red blips and pick one, keep an eye on the forecast and then go. I usually have an alternative in case of any unforeseen circumstances (road closures, flooding, forgotten equipment etc). It is simple but has worked reasonably well so far.
It's led to me not seeing a thing on my 2 trips up Nevis, seeing nothing from Ben Vorlich & Stuc a' Chroin and, by the looks of it, not seeing too much this weekend though.
How do you more experienced guys forward plan to get the most from your experience, if you don't mind my asking?
I enjoy just being out there, had a great time on the CMD Arete a fortnight ago despite the poor visibility, but I'm wondering whether there is more to consider to enhance the experience for myself & friends.
Is it just pot luck, especially at this time of year?
Many Thanks to all that respond in advance, any and all response is greatly appreciated.
