    I would love to do it and imagine all us DFWers doing it. I dont know how much it would cost but it would be cracking to do it. I mentioned the other night doing the 5 Sisters of Kintain up near the Isle of Skye, 5 mountains in one day, 3 of which are Munros (over 3000 ft) and the other 2 are a tad under it. Quite gruelling though. I may be able to get v cheap accommodation it would be a case of getting us all up there . Failing that we could use tents. I dont know if we would need a mountain leader but if we did it in late spring early summer there would be no weather worries. Is it doable?

    Did I mention I've got a VERY large tent ;):D

    they'd have to be my friends. I'd name them all and pretend they are my DFW friends - Sammy, Spud, Snaggles etc and have conversations with them.........


    wouldn't everyone? :confused:



    I have to point out at this point I don't think Sammy, Spud and Snaggles resemble sheep :rotfl:

    I do in a morning without me hair straightened :rotfl:
