We set off early as Ben wanted to drive home afterwards and I didn't want to arrive home too late. On the first hill, we met a man and his late teenage son who be bumped in to twice more before getting ahead of them later on. The Mamores are always enjoyable and Ben romped round without any real problems, although the video shows that he was a little weary at the end. The tree felling has devastated the track off Mullach nan Coirean. What a mess! Clambering over contorted branches is not the best way to end a walk, but we still made the car by 6pm and had a rare siting of a pine marten in the woods.
This is a catalogue of my son Ben's Munro Bagging with me. We did a few around Ben's 6th birthday, but only really started ticking them off the following year, often as part of multi-day backpacks and sometimes in the winter. On 28 August 2011 we finished on Ben More with Ben having reached the ripe old age of 10 years and 3 months. Its been a great experience.
