Scotland and Belated Congrats to EtR

It was great to share the experience, if not the pain, of your Joss Ed.  Thanks for a great day out.  Having breakfasted like kings at the Bridge  FSS and I left Ed to nurse his big toe to motor north to Scotland, breaking our journey to Glen Coe for lunch with father in law.  The inclement weather stayed with us until Friday when we had a glorious two days before travelling home Sunday. 

We were actually in blizzard conditions on Tuesday on the tops.   Bagged a measly eight Munros, covering just over 40 (hard) miles in sometimes deeply debilitating conditions.  However the last two days made up for it all.   The following show why we keep going back despite the weather and err… the midges:
