Monday 27th July – Current tally 256 Munros.

Quite a lot of ground covered since my last update, and some big rounds in wild remote country too! Overall the weather has been generally kind and I’ve been lucky to avoid some thundery downpours by a glen or two, in other instances it they were direct hits and I've taken a few soakings!

Too many highlights to describe them all here, but the Skye Ridge and in particular the Inn Pin in perfect conditions and the ascent of Sgurr nan Gillean the following day in less than perfect, has to be up there. There is no way I could have managed the Skye hills on my own – many thanks Mike for a fantastic memorable weekend!

Thanks also to the words of encouragement received from a couple of ScottishHill’ers I met on the way. Just what I needed to hear at the time!
