Trip Report

This was great fun, as it involved many hours walking and catching up with a friend. Plus, the weather and my knee held out.

Once we got to the Eastern side, we were able to look across at lochnagar and the circuit there which just so happened to be the last time we caught up with a hill. That time we bivvy'd on the summit in fine weather.
