We'd been looking forward to this and I don't think it disappointed Ben. He was breezing the ridge, then suddenly became unsettled on the pinnacles after which he needed a bit of encouragement, although it didn't take long to recover from his bout of nerves. In any event, we were down by 2pm and had plenty of time to drive to Oban for fish and chips before catching the 6pm boat to Mull.
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.
