RIGHT CLICK TO BLOW UP BIGLY HUGE!

Lord Elpus, Mad'n'Bad and I went that way in 2013. The exact spot you've described Gordon is just to the left of Mr Walker's head. The hill top right is Point 912.

It's not particularity sheltered but a Trailstar pitched low would probably be fine, Sir.

Oh. Wait. You don't use one any more...

Our day that year went something like THIS

:relaxed:

Thanks Ali and Willie, a couple of good areas to consider. Both have the attraction of dropping down a bit from the wind. I've had the watershed in mind for a number of years - fingers crossed for the chance to do it in May.

Alan, I have tried to pick a route where you haven't yet been: failing miserably. My first few days in May will be spent looking out for your footprints!

I still miss my Trailstar - but reckon my Tramplite can handle any conditions that the Trailstar could. Neither could have coped with my second night's pitch in 2011 - in a storm high above Glen Etive. The Trailstar stayed up, but, so did I. :disappointed:

What a wonderful day!

Ahhhh, Memories.

Looking at Al's blog, I was a bit of a Porker back then.

My take on the very same day
