It is the Buachaille no mistake .

 

[Gill]

scotty you've no chance bud ,,, it's twice the size of the merrick

The Merrick is a real slog to the top gaz the summit height is 2765ft and the Buachaille is 3353ft, but when you consider that when you step out the car at Glencoe you are 1100ft above sea level ! Another great mountain is goat fell on the isle of Arran at 2867ft ,which you are climbing the full height as you come off the ferry .Although these are not classed as "munros " i found these two mountains a harder slog than any of glencoes range as you are actually doing more work. i could not understand why as many hillwalkers "munro baggers "overlooked the beautifull mountains just because the did,nt reach the 3000ft status to make them a munro.

Your photographs are excellent as always!

just read the OP, Brilliant stuff Wayland, good for you mate

 

[Wayland]

Thanks Tony.

Greg, you wouldn't believe how much I'm looking forward to it, every time I look at my kit I'm weighing up which bits to take, what to buy and what needs modification.

I've just bought myself a snow shovel today, because I've only got 12 months to prepare!!!!:yikes:

 

[Wayland]

Which one did you go for?

I'm currently looking at the Ortovox Beast Saw Shovel

Informative as always Wayland. Will have to give the Quinzhee a go some time.
Great use of the intervalometer as well - thats one added to my wish list!
Thanks for sharing

Bear in mind that there are some Chinese ones available on Ebay now that are much cheaper than the Camera makers own brands.
