"only" three Munros instead of 12. I remember my four separate days walking each of the other twelve. Update, with added pictures: |

6 munros done this morning, and not even 8am yet  He's going to be back at the van with his feet up well before lunchtime ( assuming he doesn't add on Beinn Sgritheall ) 😀 |

Jings, he is heading off for Beinn Sgritheall - guess he wants to stick to his plan of the Cuillin Ridge tomorrow with forecast not so good for Tuesday. I assume he'll therefore add Blaven on after the ridge tomorrow, then that'll be him back on schedule. Going by where the van was parked, then I'm guessing Rachael's taken the MTB in as far as she can up Glen Arnisdale. Not had a signal now for an hour and a half, so he might be out at the van for a spot of lunch before nipping up Sgritheal, then a long'ish cycle to Glen Brittle on Skye. Quite a day, after a 4am start ! |

Signal's back, and he's going well, already half way up Sgritheal. Now wondering whether he's got a kayak planned over to Skye from Glenelg ? Would save a long and hilly cycle up and over the Mam Ratagan, and round by Shiel Bridge, Dornie etc to Kyle of Lochalsh. His logistics have been really good so far, so wouldn't be surprised. |

Donnie's going well on the Cuillin Ridge - bypassed Kings Chimney on Sgurr Mhic Connich and used Collie's Ledge, and looks like he's just scrambled up the long ridge of the In Pinn

12 on north side of Glen Shiel today ( already done the 3 on the Five Sisters by 9am ) then I guess he'll drop down into Glen Affric off Sail Chaorainn where they'll overnight in the van, then a clockwise Mullardoch Round tomorrow starting at Toll Creagach. Not quite worked out how he's going to do the Loch Monar and Strathfarrer ones the following day with the limitations on the private road up the glen............maybe he'll set off early on the bike and Rachael will go in in the van later on and retrieve it ? |

One of many big days to finish the round of in 34 days! Those were my thoughts too Gus - I'm expecting to see the tracker curve round the south side of Sgurr nan Conbhairean to make that happen since it's the most logical route choice. By the looks of the supprt tracke, a bike left at the track end in Gleann na Ciche would be a good move, with an overnight at the parking spot in Glen Affric, about a mile from the road end (poised for Toll Creagach tomorrow, with another huge day out)

Side-note: I'm guessing there is a maximum number of data-points for opentracking. If you take a look at the other end of the blue line of dots, it goes back 20 days and the last dot disappears as a new one is added. That's a shame, since the route choices for some of the bigs days is great to see (and maybe use in the future) but that's tricky if the old ones disappear! |
