So this morning, we got up at 5, set off at 6 and were walking by 9am. Ben Vorlich and Stuc A' Chroin were our targeted Munros, with a very small weather window. We made it, got them both done in fair weather, and are now staying overnight at St. Fillins, a lovely little village on the shores of Loch Earn. Had an ice cream and coffee in the village cafe in the afternoon, and are heading out for dinner soon - nice and hungry - so it will be good!

Good to see the last gasp of this climb! Your thoughts must be “we made it!” The sense if achievement must be amazing ….is it the same as the first Munro’s or has it got a bit just another one? I think you must still love that feeling or you would have stopped by now!
@happypat We still love the feeling of arriving at the summit. Each one is different and has its own challenges, even when they are situated close together. This first one was fairly straightforward, whilst the second one we did yesterday was a reasonably tricky scramble to the top - requiring much more care. We'll miss them when they're finished!
It reminds me of the summit of a mountain in Vermont that we drove up many years ago- not as adept as you in John in walking them the whole way! I think it was Mount Mansfield- it had a very craggy top like this but not as pointed. Anyway- love the image of "the end in view". Nice one!
