Both types make trips all teh more memorable.<br /><br />Your comments on teh wind strike a chord. Wind in the gorms can be a devil. The combination of the high plateau and the deep lairigs seem to make for unpredicatable and at times fierce winds. They can be very localised too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113976429882261890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-48253759939492259452009-05-18T21:28:00.000+01:002009-05-18T21:28:00.000+01:00Enjoyed this report Mac and sorry to hear the weat...Enjoyed this report Mac and sorry to hear the weather wasn't in your favour a bit more.

I didn't even go into Braemar Mtn Sports as I'd intended to stop at the Tiso shop in a village just south of Auchtrarder but I didn't stop there either, I guess I hadn't my buying head on ;-) <br /><br />If the weather had stayed like it was on Friday morning it would've been fine as the tops were clear, still there's always next time :-)Mac Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212410938991488721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-83136137898683174542009-05-18T18:39:00.000+01:002009-05-18T18:39:00.000+01:00A good read, and good photos.

I guess we'd have passed each other either in Braemar or on the road.AktoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464579446969241392noreply@blogger.com
