Similar weather for my outing on these ones Nick.Found the Wee Minister a bit creepy out there in the middle of nowhere.No wonder Stan was barking.Made the same mistake leaving the top for the last one going down that shady path and having to traverse over.Went back up the nose like urself.The path through the forrest after the gate was a nightmare until u reach the track again.Another 4 ticked for u,well done.😀👏👏
Thanks, yes another 4….it’s too easy to be overconfident with navigation, and end up on the wrong path… after all these Munro’s I still feel like a novice at times.
I did warn you when you were sying how hard quarzite is that you'd find the Grey Corries hard on the feet. My first traverse started from the bothy with no watch and a train to catch at Spean Bridge. I started in first ligt in torrential rain and no views until on my descent from Aonach Mor when the clouds dispersed and the sun became really hot only to find that I had over 3 hours wait for my train!!!
I did these a few months ago , hated going down that scree on stob ban , did you sign the visiters book in the bothy, i realy enjoyed the rest of the ridge walk , came down a different route from you and it was hellish long walk back to the car, burst soles of my boots as well 😅

I did these 10 years ago but biked to the Bothy and did the route in a different way to you but the ridge is a nice walk and in my top 50 Munro walks.
Yes , I’d imagine with views the ridge is spectacular !

You did warn me , I was thinking of your comments whilst on the ridge.! I bet you never forgot to take a watch again!

Your right it was a long way back to the car…. Luckily my boots are still in tact 😂
