Today was a special day for several reasons:
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee
My Birthday
Our First Munro see Munros
The village of Dull "sistering" with the town of Boring see Dull and Boring
On our way to our chosen Munro (Schiehallion) we happened to pass said village. It didn't bode well:

On arrival at base camp the weather was... dull
However we are not ones to grouse - as we reminded by this pair we met on the way:
 |
| Grouse - Shot of the Day? |
but you can tell the real one because by that stage it looks like the Moon's surface. (There are people on the summit and one on the approach in this picture)
When we got to the summit a kind fellow walker offered to take our picture together
Toby did particularly well on the rock scrabbling as he is profoundly blind.

All in all a very memorable day!
Looks like you had a fab day - and stayed mainly dry! Congratulations on your first munro. Shameful to admit that after all the family hillwalking, and DofE activities, I still have none to my name! Oh - and of course belatedly happy birthday - hope there was good cake ;o)
