My Torridon trip was 'opportunistic'. Tune in in a week's time for an update on the conditions up there - I understand it looks very snowy just now!Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-74184239923515085642009-03-29T17:26:00.000+01:002009-03-29T17:26:00.000+01:00I am jealous, very jealous!

A brilliant mountain.<BR/>BTW Sorry about the gnashing - suggest you get a spare set soon!Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-63532519961840562062009-03-25T21:36:00.000+00:002009-03-25T21:36:00.000+00:00Looks like a fab few days.Must do Ben Alligin.... ...Looks like a fab few days.<BR/>Must do Ben Alligin....

If we could only have the weather you've had. It's been wet and windy for the previous three years, not much fun in a palatial family tent, but we still have to go back for more!<BR/><BR/>You've given me some ideas for while we're there, more to think about and plan.<BR/><BR/>LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-79900648859027772722009-03-25T16:51:00.000+00:002009-03-25T16:51:00.000+00:00Yes Martin, it's one of my favourite views.
