On Thursday morning, in perfect walking conditions, we set off from Dundonnell at 3am to walk the Fisherfield Six - 44km, 5 Munros and 1 demoted Munro. We had no idea how long it would take us, but were delighted to make it back to the hotel for dinner at 7.30 pm. This photo was taken around 4 am as the sun was beginning to rise and we spotted a few deer on the hill.
I’m showing Garth your posts & it’s inspiring him to do a bit more when he retires at the end of July. The Wainwright’s in the Lakes have pretty much all been done & I think a bit more up Braemar way but nothing serious. This is an amazing shot…just awe inspiring Issi. You must just feel like the only two people in the world. Garth said lots of people do the easy ones first but should be the other way round while you’re fit!
@happypat We have set ourselves a target of doing all 282 before we're 70, which means we have to try and cover 25 a year. Sounds easy, but a lot of them require a fair bit of travel to get to! And Garth is quite right ... get the difficult ones done quickly, while you can. Hubby is currently looking at the Cuillins in Skye. Some of them are very tricky and we will probably want to do them with a guide. Possibly next summer's project?
I am so impressed by your dedication to leave at such an early hour but you are rewarded with some of the most amazing photos for it. I have always wanted to visit Scotland and walk in the moors. I don't know why- it might be in my blood- but I don't know if I'll ever get there. Thankfully with my imagination and your pictures I'm seeing the mountains.
