Seriously though, it does look a good route, but perhaps a bit long for the daylight hours at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll bear it in mind for the longer days.
Davy boy, yeah Lochnagar has been on my to do list for a while. It's a long drive for the one hill, so while this is still long it might just be do-able on a winters day with a headtorch walkout.

The Stuic ridge looks good, could be a bit dicey for someone with my experience if not roped up though. With all the snowmelt and the temperature dropping, perhaps it could be a verglassed nightmare?
