    Re: Ben More to Ben Hope

    Looks like Spyke's well and truly back on form again after an Achilles scare. Well past the halfway mark now. I was planning to go up at the weekend but thought best save myself for the Meirionnydd this Sat...

    NOTE he may be looking for climbing support for the Cuillin next weekend if anyone has the skills and time

    Will be giving John a ring later in the week Depending on where he is back end of next week I'm going to try and hook up with them. Skye wasn't in my plans though as I've done them all.

    Keep going Spyke

    Spyke may need help across the Cullin

    Early start today left Invercoe campsite at 07.15 to cycle to South Ballachullish, on the hill at 07.40 then completed both Sgorr Dhonuill and Sgorr Dhearg, and on his bike towards Kinlochleven by 11.20 arriving at 12.10, he left for the Mamores at 12.35. Whilst in Kinlochleven he received a bit of worrying news, his regular running partner Steve Watts has damaged an ankle, and may not be fit to complete the Skye section with Spyke as planned. Anyone out there with the skills, knowledge and time next weekend(weather permitting) to take on the Cuillins with Spyke please contact 07736245468. I will update you on his progress through the Mamores tomorrow

    My understanding is that Stephen is definitely out of the running. Meanwhile, 172 down with 3 due today http://munros2010.blogspot.com/

    Latest entry on the blog has confirmed Steve has completed his big day across knoydart. Not sure if he has got the support he needs for Sky yet? Wish I was going up weather forecast looks great. He's down to single figure munros to go now. Amazing!! Wonder what he's going to do when this is over?

    Um, I think you mean double figures. When I first saw the schedule I thought the Knoydart day looked one of the toughest of all - a really great achievement to complete it. Regarding what he's doing when its over, he hasn't got many days rest before the LAMM!

    Good news, SW has recovered enough to get Spyke to In Pin and then Neil is going to carry on across the ridge. He,s got two big days out on Clunny ridge to complete before Skye though. JC said that he is still out on South Clunny this evening Amazing....
