#15 of 15 clockwise from Ardchullarie More, with Andrew Tibbetts. Then NNW and via mapped tracks and paths back to start. Nice 20mi 7hr circuit on a cool, mostly dry autumn day. | RHW | 22/10/2016 |
Met an unhappy stalker near the track. His party had finished for the day and I had not been in their way at all but he said I might have been scaring deer off the estate, in a way that Land Rovers and guns don't. I pointed out that it was equally likely that I might have been encouraging deer off a neighbouring estate onto his. He was slightly mollified and I carried on up the hill. | alda | 04/10/2016 |
