Hendrik, thanks. Kind comments gratefully accepted. Nice thought and one I carry around with me but it takes Cojones to walk away from a good well paying career. I can get my kicks in my spare time. The Scottish highlands are full of such delights. There,s another fine (finer?) ridge walk on the other side of the valley from the Corries that's high on my list.

Great writing, Dave. Maybe retire the career and p...

Great writing, Dave. Maybe retire the career and pursue one in outdoor writing and photography (I hear it doesn't make a lot of economical sense, though - but you're doing what others do in their holidays or when they retire ;).

A seven kilometer ridge walk? Well, the Grey Corries just made it to the list of places to visit.

Kind words indeed Joe. That you keep coming back and passing comment is much appreciated. The Corries trip has got me looking back towards home. Living away for so long, what used to be around the corner now has a sense of the exotic.

Spectacular photos, sublime prose, epic adventure. Loved every minute of this report, sitting here, sipping my coffee while the tail end of a supposed hurricane flails around outside. Brilliant stuff Dave.

Jorgen, thanks. Don't ya just love it when a plan doesn't come together!

Fraser, the cairngorms occupy a place in my heart but the West has something very special indeed. Go west young man?

Rilly, welcome. Thanks for the kind words!

Alan, I guess that's the price you pay when you don't go solo. Don't worry about Iain, he's tougher than he looks. Besides, misery is all part of being British.

Martin, glad you're tuning in. You'll almost get your wish but there's a twist in the tail :-)

Lochaber Traverse Dave. Superb I am hoping the east ridge of Carn Mor Dearg and arête are going to coming up next? Stunning photos and superb writing.

I felt for poor Iain on this one! I'd have put the tent up ages back. Great adventure, Dave and wonderful pictures too. Looking forward to the next instalment!

my armchair adventures start with the "next blog" button and today I discovered you. Your photos grabbed me first but your words took me along for the ride. The hike, from start to finish, was incredible....and I'm not even tired. Thank you, and I'll be back for more.

I need to get myself west at some point - I keep saying it and never do... next time!

Good read, Dave. I think you convey very well the changes in weather and changes in plans that is what makes every walk of this kind into an adventure. You never really know what your day is going to be like. Which makes you realise how grand life can be.
