Cheers - I like that traversing kind of aspect, and being able to see the trail ahead of you for a way like that is fun.
Dontcha love those Kenny Wilson routes
Kenny Wilson is pretty much a swear word in our house after I tried to make my missus do a couple of his routes.
Kenny ****ing Wilson, I know the feeling well.
Is that Kenny Wilson's book "Walks with my mountain bike" ? ...
Thats the one, think it comes from Kenny, as a mountaineer who bikes.... some of the routes are brilliant and some are "challenging" in their own way.
Anyway.. Ton was asking for pics, so back to the plot...
Love it when these threads come up, for the photos that is, not Ton's sad missing out on his trip! Couple from my canon -

Sooooo glad I'm moving to a little cottage in a little village in Scotland in four weeks time 🙂
I think a little bit of wee just came out.
I'll be coming to visit so you best have my room ready with a coffee machine e.t.c 😉
Thought you were going to 24/12 this weekend?
It's Mark's room, but yes - you can stay 🙂
It's like a bed sit, the guest room - so plenty of room. It'll be set up as a turbo trainer room, with a big TV and music.

Very nice pics druidh - really want to get out in the mountains in winter in Scotland more. Only done a few bits in Glencoe.
Seen that last one before, looks amazing. I'd crop between a quarter and a third off the bottom of it though personally.
Grum, I reckon your pics are about he best on here, i'm no expert, but they're great!
Aw shucks...... thank you 😀
The thing in winter is just getting out there. It's too easy to be put off by bad weather forecasts and then miss some fantastic light.
