@lairdoharray 10 күн бұрын
I started off with the intention of walking but got into a guddle. The mountain bikers are not to be messed with so i went down and took the gondola. I didn't think I had enough time to do Beag and get the last gondola, but later realised that when the gondola stops, the bikers tend to stop. I'm counting Aonagh Mor in my bag, but have a few 'insurance munros' against any revision or cheating accusations, so my centure is safe.

Absolutely brilliant video guys. Definitely don't think it's cheating getting the gondola. Some munros like in the cairngorms like Glenshee or Ben Lawers you start from like 400 meters etc. So am guessing it's similar. It's the way I want to do it one day and maybe take my son up with me. Got to say fot summit snack. Definitely the cheesecake lol. Again guys well done on another fantastic video. ATVB Alan

Thanks for uploading, guys - missed your uploads. Not cheating when you can drive a car half way up the Lawers group and most will use the ferry for the Mullardoch Munros.

I have the Talon Pro and Dougs has the Stratos (we usually hike together). The one thing I wish the Talon had, which the Stratos has, is the gap between the pack and the shoulder straps. I can imagine this will keep you cooler, although I don’t think the Talon makes you that warm in hot weather.

For a munro climber that my seem pointless. But once on the route, I have experience, paper maps, photos of summits, and even GPS to guide me. But to get from the car or bus stop I can have to just hunt around. Not often but it is a feeling I don't like. JMO.
