I might try a solo high-level backpack to that Etive area for the summits, but it will be a hard slow business for me nowadays - the Scottish mountains sure do pack those contours.

Photos are absolutely stunning and real treat to get 5 days of unbroken clear weather in Scotland. You must have done something right in a previous life :) Cracking area, still missing a load of summits down Glen Etive so some good tips for a backpacking trip.

One to savour and one that I'm sure will be well remembered. Great Photos and wonderful description as ever.
