Derek: "I haven't"

You know what's coming don't you. We drove down to the bottom of Glen Etive, left the car and starting walking into the hills.
Derek: "None of this looks familiar"
Di: "OK" [very happy to have a day in the hills taking in 3 awesome peaks]
And then there was an abrupt halt, followed by that look.
Derek: "Oh, I have done these hills haven't I?"
Di: "Yup" *snigger*
Thankfully, he still had 2 remaining Munro's to do which shared the start so a quick change of plan was required. Just like the BOGOF offers, today was a climb 2, get 3 free :)
Sunday saw us head down to Bridge of Orchy for another random couple of hills which I knew that he hadn't done. For 99.9% of the ascent we were in pea soup and then there was that sudden realisation that there was a slim possibility that there might be an actual inversion.
It was only on Stob Ghabhar, the highest of our 2 hills that we were rewarded with one of the best inversions that either of us have seen.
