    Brilliant Andy! Not done any of these so will need to watch them again before I venture out there! Its getting to that time of year where I think I will be staying local and parking the munros journey till next year! That's a long day though! Bet you where up at early doors to leave!,, cheers again. Paul

      Thanks Paul.A wee wildcamp for you over 2 days would get the 6 in there.Seems to be the way most folk do them as Culra Bothy is the start/end of both Walkhighlands routes.😃👍Yeah....i think that will be me finished any new ones to next year now as well.Daylight and long travels a big factor.😃👍

    Nice one Andy, got cracking weather while on the mountains, views were tremendous👍
    Andy did you Kip up there night before or did you just drive up early doors.? Also how did you find the scramble up the long leachas.?
    Well done again, that’ll be that neck of the woods finished for you eh.?
    Cheers

      Thanks Frank.😃👍
      Just drove up that morning.Left Glasgow at 4 am started on the bike at 6am.Pitch black for the 1st hour which was a bit nervy,lol.Pretty easy scramble up the ridge.Never had to put my poles away fully.Short sections of scrambling.Nice ridge looking up it and down and easy going to the summit after that.Yeah that was my last 2 in the area and could be my last new ones until next year as daylight is a big factor now.Bit of travelling for my remaining ones.😃👍

    Andy were thinking of going up here at weekend, just a quick question. How long was the cycle from Dalwhinnie to the bothy.?
    Cheers mate.

      At least 1hr 45 min Frank.I started off in pitch black with light on bike and a headtorch at 6am.Good chance u will be coming back out in the dark now.Think i got back to car bang on 5pm but it was still daylight hours then.🤔👍

      @@hikingwithfrank315 Aww brilliant Frank.Probably a better option.The direct route to the bothy needs a bit of care with the bike once u come off the main track or if u head down to loch Pattack and over the shoogley bridge u add an extra 1/2km onto journey.U canny win,lol.🤣👍
