Looking forward to doing that route in May with the STW people. ๐Ÿ™‚ Who's the buffster in the wine jersey? He looks like presidential material... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ditto - can't wait!

And Stuartie_C has stated [b]in writing[/b] that the weather will be the similar to that experienced by swavis yesterday - how great is that! ๐Ÿ˜€

Personally, I've examined the contract I've drawn up and will be suing him if there is so much as a cloud in the sky.

If not due legal process, then perhaps (as a minimum) chuck him in a river..?

I hear he's one of these "all the gear, no idea" types. Reckons you need full sus for the Capel Mounth descent.

Cool, a guy I work with was on about this route, except he started from the Clova, for reasons of drinking.

I reckon you're right. But hey, when you're that much of a hunk, who needs skillz? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Wow, great views, stunning weather. How long did it take you to get round? Any hike-a-bike in that? - sorry being lazy and not looking a the map properly. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Depending on your rock hopping skills, there's a bit of push and carry at the top of Glen Clova and up onto the top. Nothing too dreadful by Scottish standards, all firm underfoot.

Apparently, the weather is always like that....

Huh - you never swoon at pictures of TJ (the wino in the buff coloured jersey).

Took us just under 4 hours. The only hike-a-bike section is where you climb out of Glen Clova. Really wasn't that bad and the two descents certainly make up for it.

Yes so I see!!! At the risk of jinxing it - the weather is often like that when we road trip up to the Highlands... I just pretend to our friends back here in the South that it's rubbish, nothing to see at all... ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanx for that - rock hopping skills up ๐Ÿ™ but down ๐Ÿ˜€

B@stards, I want to go home now, that looks way more fun that equations of turbulent flow...

Relax guys,

the weather [b]will[/b] be as good as this, so you can call off the lawyers and the lynch mob.

Isn't there something in our collective Calvinist psyche which prefers pish conditions anyway?

(Good photos BTW, swavis)
