I also was able to make that decision myself Louise, although I didn't have any physical problem. Even before the start things went wrong I couldn't explain. At the end of day 1 I'd climbed 1 Munro, EVERYTHING was wet (including some stuff in drybags), my wellprotected phone was dead and more bad omens gave me this very strong feeling of an approaching disaster. On saturday the owner of the Knoydart B&B lodge gave me a boatlift back to Mallaig.

That's miserable Theo. Glad that you made a safe withdrawal. The hills are going nowhere, we'll be back!
