I have to confess to being Ketzster's dad, but I think this was quite an achievement as well as completely mad.
Now I am planning a long three nighter for myself and Mrs. Crymnast, but I doubt it will be as long as this was.

Nicely done, and a bit of an epic
. I have a vague notion to try this at some point, although I don't know if I'd make it. The two outliers at the eastern end would seem to be the real sting in the tail. Impressive stuff.

Epic indeed.
Don't know how you managed to keep going through the tiredness. 10 in one outing has to be a record?

It was something I had always wanted to do. Maybe it was because it was where it all started for me, I don't know! But if you get the opportunity then go for it-it's an amazing day out and looking back now I wish I could be there going through it all again.
The last two make it a harder. I thought about going the other way but then Mullach nan Coirean would be a killer too. You know what it's all like though-you're a lot more experienced than I am! But I would definitely go for it

Bloody hell I'm exhausted and that's just from reading of your great achievement ! Well done to both of you and I hope one day I can do the same. Thanks for sharing it with us.
