Many thanks Martin for your motivating company and your generosity!
ReplyDeleteA shame that the inclement weather and my leaking boots prevented our planned forays on higher ground.

It's a pleasure, Markus, and the only summit that we missed due to your wet foot was Sron Smeur, a small hill with a great viewpoint - remember to climb it next time you are in the area! Our other 'missed summits' can be regarded as 'mist summits' not worth visiting in the conditions.
ReplyDeleteA successful and most enjoyable trip with no major incidents, despite your flapping tent material at Lubnaclach...
