    Enjoyed this, Charlie. It's a good few decades since I last was up Ben Starav, so it was good to see it again, and the superb views from the summit. Not much snow left now !!

      Hi Ian, The glen isn't in great condition at the moment with all the ongoing water works but the tops certainly make up for it once you get to height. A cool breeze but the winter is over and things slowly heating up. Cheers, Charlie.
