Suilven looms about 14 miles behind Lochinver, you can't actually go anywhere in that area without it dominating the landscape, I'm amazed you can't remember it. It's 12 miles from any road though so there's a bit of a hike to get to the base, but it's definitely very prominent on the horizon.

Still single lane roads I'm afraid with passing placed. Good quality roads though, very well maintained.

Getting on for 40 years ago, I've vague recollections of something like that, but not sure.

DM, while I would never buy a shirt like that, regardless of price, it's your money and your choice!
Similarly, it's LBs money and his choice - if I were in a similar situation, I may buy the same tent - the waste is when it doesn't do the job and this is one of the cases where it is a sound move to pay a bit extra for the best equipment. He certainly would regret 'saving' money if it leaked or ripped and he was wet and cold for any period of time. It would then get thrown out, whereas a good quility tent, looked after, can last many, many years.

That said, the banter between you is rather amusing, keep it up [thumbup]
