I turn 68 in the high Cairngorms during the TGO this year, though I am beginning to see a corner, around which things will be different in not very many years. Would be happy to hear from you and your wife! My husband cannot backpack due to a severe spinal injury ten years ago, but he will be joining me for a week of day-hikes in Deeside, after I finish. Crossing fingers ... for us all!

Just done a Winter Skills Course in the Cairngorms. Does round the corner possibly allow for a CWT next year. If conversation possible happy for direct contact on jch75seh@gmail.com
