I'll be going to Scotland tomorrow. Arriving in Newcastle on Saturday and
driving up to Ben Lawers the same day. On Sunday I'll accompany, along with
others, Martin Snijders to climb Meall Corranaich. Martin will be the third
(registered) Dutchman to complete the full round of Munros. After M.C. I
myself will go on to add the Ben Lawers group to my list. On Monday I'll do
Meall nan Tarmachan and perhaps Meall a Coire Leith. Tuesday it's the Carn
Mairg group (any stalking going on?). Wednesday I'll be driving up to An
Teallach and perhaps bag Ben Wyvvis on the way up. Thursday my friend Jimmy
will join me to do An Teallach. I'm sure this will be a superb day on a
superb mountain. Friday I have to head south again. If I'm not too tired
there's a change I might do Beinn Dorain and Beinn a Dothaidh. Sadly I must
catch the ferry from Newcastle on Saturday and that will be the last I'll
see from the UK this year.
Ah yes, just one thing. I hope the rain stops :-)

For your sake, so do I...

I might pass you on the way! I'm leaving Newcastle on Sunday for (probably)
the Cairngorms. Not too sure what routes to do as the weather is a bit
unpredictable at the moment. I'm not too keen on a 12 hour walk in rain.

Funnily enough, Beinn Dorain and Beinn a Dothaidh is also on my "easy" list
if I cross over to Lochaber to do Aonach Mor/Beag as I return home.

BTW, Meall Corranaich/Meall a Coire Leith takes less then 3 hours if you
park at the Cairn at the north of the Lochan. With Meall nan Tarmachan
(don't forget to visit Meall Garbh) taking over 4 hours to do the full walk.

Hope the sun comes out!

That's a pretty challenging schedule - have a great time.

And for your sake I hope the rain stops too!

If the sun comes out I'll do the Tarmachan round anti-clockwise, if the
weather is bad I'll just tick off Tarmi in the morning and Coire Leith in
the afternoon. Or follow your advise and do Corranaich and Leith in the
morning of the first day and Tarmi in the afternoon, saving the Ben Lawers
range (Beinn Ghlas-Meall Greigh) for the next day. Depends on the waterlevel
;-)

I love an optimist! Good luck Theo, it's a demanding but achievable
programme
assuming you're hill fit (in Holland?). And the sun is shining in Glasgow
today....

Funny enough i am sure i met Martin on Am Faochachag (Sp) a fortnight
ago. Interesting chap. Must spend a fortune Munro bagging from the
Netherlands. I can remember him telling me he was about to finish the
Munros in the Killin area. Then the rain started and Glen Ogle got
washed away. I remember wondering how he got on.
