Congratulations Rockhopper! 
It must feel good being over that 100 mark - just 182 to go! 
Great photos on a brilliant sunny day! I bet you were glad your hat found its way back to you!
I was up the Buachaille last December - it was a white rather than green - but the snow made the going a lot softer!
All the best for the next 100+!

Hail Centurion!

We should turn down a few of these windfarm applications and just chain you, Malky and Monty to some treadmills instead.

Thanks everyone for your comments - they're much appreciated.
I really enjoyed Glen Etive and would recommend it to all. Here's hoping the next 100 don't take another 25 years

These photos are AMAZING!
I was up there last August on a duller day weather-wise so it's good to see what it might have looked like!

Brilliant Rockhopper not just the 'ton' but the trilogy - I'm just back off holiday and ploughing through walk reports but all three of yours are real crackers - an excellent few days work

Great report and fab photos. Bit of a long walk to do these 4 in one outing, I split them up as I'm just a 'beginner'. 
Love the picture strapped to your rucksack celebrating the 100, great idea. I think you should have kept it on until you reached Stob Dearg though.
