So it was “Mission Accomplished” in the NW Highlands over the Bank Holiday. In the space of two big mountain days (1725 metres ascent on Sunday) and two cosy bothy nights, all 4 of the Upper Glendessary Munros were climbed. As these rugged hills rank amongst the hardest-to-reach in Britain, Mr Green is well pleased to have them off his list !
The wild camping trip (one night) in the Cairngorms is still on the agenda for later. It involves two much more reasonable days on the hill, and will fit into a normal weekend. Anyone interested (experienced or otherwise) please discuss.
Other Highlands targets of note this summer will include the Strathfarrar Munros and the 5 Sisters of Kintail, amongst others.
