It was about 7 miles to the summit. Good paths most of the way but there were some boulder fields but not as bad as Cairn Toul, if you've done that one you'll know what I mean! Also the Chalamaine gap boulders weren't as difficult as the boulder field on the Lairig Ghru itself. But it was easier because it was dry, I wouldn't like to do it in the wet cos I'm a bit of a wuss with wet boulders.

Northern Exile Jun 2023 10:16pm, 4 Jun 2023 9,669 posts	0 Northern Exile Chalamaine gap in pitch darkness with a fading headtorch is quite an experience I once arrived at the Corrour bothy and it was full to bursting, so a late-evening transit back up the Lairig Ghru was required, I got back to the mountain station very late and very tired.

Rosehip Jun 2023 10:07pm, 6 Jun 2023 29,116 posts	0 Rosehip Van had its anual habitation check today, which it ‘passed’ no problems. (Used needing to be in Newark for 8.30 as the perfect excuse to finally have a solo trip) Does everyone have these checks on their campers? It’s not a cheap exercise!
